Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Cisco-Linksys EPSX3 EtherFast 10/100 3-port PrintServer: Simplify Your Printing Workflow by Anuj Mierzejewski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It doesn't get much easier than that.

This print server took less than 10 minutes to install and works great. The whole process consists of only 4 steps: 1. Connect the print server to your network.2. Connect the printer to the print server and turn on the printer.3. Connect the power cord to the print server.4. Install the program on your computer. It worked for me out of the box. It recognized my Epson Stylus Color 600 printer right away and it was very easy to set it up to print on my computer. I've made some changes to the configuration, although it's not necessary. I just like working in hit-ship mode, so I gave it a static IP address (DHCP client is enabled by default) and disabled the protocols I didn't need. The print server supports AppleTalk, so it should work with both Mac and Windows computers. However, there are no drivers for Linux, but it supports IPP, so it should be possible to print to it from Linux boxes as well. Update: Here's a small issue I found: I'm printing pictures I took with my digital camera. These images are quite large, and if you print multiple images at once, you'll get a warning that the print server is busy. The message disappears and the image is printed. Like I said, a minor annoyance.
