Why do you need a print server?

Sharing it from a PC no good?

thanks nicho, thos are the same P/S just rebranded right??

- i think thats what i'll get - cheap!!! (cheapest P/S in dabs!!)

- also, i noiced that the 880 does have a USB (never used it but it there) - is there any benefit to using the USB?? - the dabs one is £10 more (35 not 25) - is it worth it??


thanks daniel

If your printer works well over parallel, I can't see any point in shelling out extra for a USB print server - the only point to them is if if the printer is USB only.

They are (I think) the same device - Dynamode PS-1201 - except the branding may be Edimax for the Dabs one - see Edimax website and look for the PS-1203 under products.
