The DP-301 Print Server is a compact print server which connects to your
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer
services.  It manages the flow of print files from your workstations or file
servers to its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance
printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.
