The Wireless USB Print Server can be used in any home or office network
environment to share a USB printer via an Ethernet network or a wireless network. By
using the USB Print Server to connect a USB printer to a wireless or Ethernet network
device, such as a wireless router or a switch, the USB printer can be shared by each
user on the network without having to tie up the resources of one computer to act as
the dedicated print server.
