I have a LinkSys print server. It works pretty well. Both Windows and
Linux use it. The instructions are a little obtuse. (They assume
Windows. They could make instructions for Linux quite easily, but they
don't.) Getting the queues to work right took a little bit of work.
The problem is that all of the print servers i have seen out there
assume parallel printers. Many of the new printers are USB only.
