after many hours of frustration and time on hold with linksys, i was informed that this print server does not work with multi-function printers (printer/copier/scanner/fax).

after fighting what i thought were networking issues, linksys told me that they don't support multifunctional printers.

i wanted to be able to put my printer on the home network so i could share it between a laptop and desktop computer.

i highly recommend this to anyone that has multiple computers in their home and need/desire printing from any of their systems.

summary: netgear makes the most reliable home and small office networking products on the market.
