Wireless-G PrintServer
Chapter 1:
Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer .
The PrintServer lets you connect a USB printer directly
to your network, so your networked computers can
share a single printer . It is compatible with most USB
multifunction printers, and it allows full access to printing,
faxing, scanning, and copying functions . Like any print
server, users on the network can print anytime . The other
functions are treated a little differently—any user can
request access to one of the other functions and get
exclusive use of that function until the task is complete .
