Servers, Workstations and Networks, oh MY!: Netgear PS121 Print Server - USB to LAN
I'm the only that thinks these desktop to network print server aren't bad. This is a very nice adition to any small home network or small company network. Although the cost of network printers, that is, printers that come with a built in network card have dropped, it re-asuring to know that the printers already owned by an individual or a small company that are connected via USB to a computer in the office can easily be converted to a network printer and more easiliy sharable and accesable to the other computers on the network.

Out of the available USB to network adapters available, this one works ok. I used this for several clients and found it to be fairly stable. I prefer to use printers with true network adapters built into the printer. They tend to need less support than adapters that take a USB printer and converts it to connect to a network. Although they help eliminate the need to connect the printer to a computer desktop or server to be accessible over the network, they seem to require more support and attention than built-in network cards.
Thanks for the post.
