I just got a Linksys PSUS4, USB Print server and 4 port 10/100 switch.

I didn't need the switch part, but it was cheaper than any of the other
print servers I priced out.

It does LPD, NetBIOS/SMB, Appletalk, and HP's port 9100 stuff.

Strangely, Windows prints more reliably to it over LPR/LPD than NetBIOS.
Dunno why.

The printer hooked up to this is an Epson Stylus R300.
