An excellent purchase - I would say, worth the money you pay! Compact and cute - I always like products from IOGEAR. A print server adapter helps to print to any printer with a USB port (1.1 standard) over the network. This eliminates the need for a PC to be kept on all the time (especially in a home network with a shared printer) to print documents from other PCs or Laptops. Having 2 PCs and 2 laptops at home (used by me and my wife), it was annoying to have a PC share a printer and having to turn the PC on, all the time to print.
The print server has one USB port and one 10/100 port (USB goes to printer and Ethernet goes to your network). The product also comes with a software driver and Print Server monitor that helps discover the print server and assign it a static IP address. Here is a snapshot of the PSMonitor software.
