A nice idea -- a printer server plus a switch. The unit I received only worked sporadically. No help from Linksys on resolving the problem. The unit would print properly one time only, then either print only half a page or nothing at all. No combination of LPR, queue name or device setting would work. Fortunately, the printer being used with this has both a USB and parallel connection. So I hooked up a spare Netgear PS110 with the parallel connection and it's been rock solid.
