Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer.
The PrintServer lets you connect a USB printer directly
to your network, so your networked computers can
share a single printer. It is compatible with most USB
multifunction printers, and it allows full access to printing,
faxing, scanning, and copying functions. Like any print
server, users on the network can print anytime. The other
functions are treated a little differently—any user can
request access to one of the other functions and get
exclusive use of that function until the task is complete.
