the documentation only tells you to go to the print server's web page and download a file that installs the printer.

once you plug in your printers, on windows it will create an executable file to define them to windows.

it is really great to be able to print from the laptop and not have to unhook the printer from my desktop or e-mail to file to myself and open it on the desktop to print it.

from Phil from Grand Island, NY, www.circuitcity.com
scanning from the printer to a computer file takes considerably longer than if the computer and printer were hardwired.
from www.bestbuy.com
no more using usb drives to transfer files from one pc to another.

all this plus 16 games files to save your game, you'll be trying to beat it over and over and over...finally, it just brings back old memories.
from www.amazon.com
has good connection speed 24-36 mbs which is plenty for printing even the largest of print files.
from www.amazon.com
if you download from linksys, it is a zip file that must be expanded and the start up is "wizard.exe" running it from your hard drive is faster.

IOGear Multi-Function USB GMFPSU01C

IOGear Multi-Function Print Server, USB (GMFPSU01C) Print Server

$38.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is not a file/print server, as you cannot send print jobs to it or request files from it.
from www.amazon.com
the cd setup wizard found a device right away over the network; however, i was unable to find the correct *.inf file print driver for the 2410xi.
from www.amazon.com
the installed driver should look like a printer in your printers folder but under "ports" it will be pointing to "file:".
from www.amazon.com
b) using a dns entry seemed to make reaching the printer easy, you should be able to use a host file entry (not tested)
from www.amazon.com
the printer queue dialog box says that the print driver processed and sent print files and all is just dandy, but the printer never blinks its green eye.
