Linksys WPSM54G Wireless Print Server
The 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-intensive print jobs. Let the Linksys
Wireless-G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support bring efficiency to
all your home office tasks.

DO Not buy this item if you use windows 7. Does not work even with suggestions from manufacturers website. Very poor product support from Linksys and difficult. If I knew it did not work with windows 7 and could not be returned I would not have bought it

They have thier technical staff trained to play dodge ball with support. I think they are in India or some place where you can't understand what they are saying. Their game is to find fault with you existing equipment and try to sell you fee based support while your new equipment is still in the box. I will never buy from them again. Shame on you CISCO !!

The setup was a rather pesty process. After searching online I found many people had dificulties while using a protected wireless network.
Also this device is incompatable with 64bit systems. Linksys doesn't seem to offer any support driver wise. I reccomend spending a little extra cash for the next step up.
