Product Description
Wireless-G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support - Share your multifunction printer without running wires!Share a multifunction printer with everyone on your network -- works with most USB printersAllows full access to printing, faxing, scanning, and copying functionsConnects your printer directly to the network by 10/100 wired Ethernet or 54Mbps Wireless-GPrevents congestion on your PC with other users' print jobsThe Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support lets you connect a multifunction USB printer directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print sharing chores. Using a PrintServer frees up your "print share PC" so you don't have to leave it on all the time. It also removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work. The PrintServer is compatible with most USB multifunction printers, and 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 his task is complete. Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100 Ethernet cable, or wirelessly at up to 54Mbps via Wireless-G. The wireless option lets you put your printer wherever you want to, without having to run cables. Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to it, and the printer it's connected to. And if you don't use wireless for general networking in your office, you can still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print from visiting Wireless-G and Wireless-B PCs. Your wireless data is protected by up to 128-bit WPA-PSK encryption. A user-friendly Setup Wizard makes installation easy, the compact case fits anywhere, and the big print buffer handles even large graphics

 Cannot Believe Amazon Sells This - Linksys is NOT Truthful September 6, 2010
E. Baldwin (Thornton, CO United States)
Does anyone see anywhere here or on Linksys' site where they tell you that this does not work with Windows 7? No, you don't Linksys will sell you the unit, and then do nothing about supporting it. You will be out the money. I've seen a few posts on some of the forums where very technical people came up with work arounds but they are not easy, I ended up returning over 200 dollars worth of Linksys equipment I had bought because this unit will not work. Had they been upfront on their site I would not have ordered the item. As it was I felt very cheated, as do many other people.
Amazon needs to give this product the boot ASAP.
Windows 7? Forget It September 6, 2010
Robert J. Eckerfield (Houston, TX)
Linksys and Amazon both do a smooth job of hiding the fact that this thing is not compatible with Windows 7. If you are using W7 forget it.
Not compatible with Windows 7 September 1, 2010
online shopper (Hartford, CT United States)
This product only operates with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Windows 7 has been the offering for nearly a year, and the product does not support it. Please be warned!!
Linksys Wireless G Print Server (not for Windows 7) August 31, 2010
James J. Coffey (San Francisco, CA USA)
The big problem with this item is that it is not Windows 7 compatible. It may have been a great print server with Windows XP, but when you go to install the software on a Windows 7 computer, you receive a message saying the OS is not supported and, for most people, that is as far as you can go. I returned the item for a refund. As far as I can remember, I think that this is the first item I ever purchased from Amazon that I had to return.
Don't Buy this if you use Windows 7 August 30, 2010
mulesii (Collegeville, PA United States)
Windows 7 is not supported. When I contacted Cisco support I was told they are working on the drivers. They pointed me to a Cisco Webpage that no longer exists and then told me to keep checking back for the drivers to be available. This is an operating system that has been available for 10 months and Cisco does not have drivers? On top of it all, I waited online for 10 minutes before I was able to Live chat with someone and I had to ask my question five time before they responded. They then responded with a message to check the website that was nonexistent and then would not respond to any more of my questions.
