722809 2008-11-25 06:48:00 Hello members
Does anyone of you know of a small ethernet printer server that would be compatible with a Brother MFC 7820n and a Canon S6300 inkjet printer. The preferential would be as mentioned above or if that would not work ,then a wireless router/modem with print server attached (inbuild). Any chances on that? Lots of stuff around but it just seems to be difficult to find the right one.
Thanks

722811 2008-11-25 07:27:00 Here's one (www.pbtech.co.nz). Just be aware most print servers don't support anything other then printing with multi-function printers. stormdragon (6013)
722812 2008-11-25 07:33:00 I haven't looked at the links yet but as much as I remember I have seen sub print servers?? notechyet (4479)
722813 2008-11-25 07:47:00 Well that Brother printer is a network printer already so no need for a print server for it. CYaBro (73)
722814 2008-11-25 07:49:00 This is the compatability list I have found for the Wl600 G www.asus.com

The WL500 g does have a slight better chance of being any use to me as the Brother MFC 9880 and a Canon 9880 are listed.
The trouble is that the servers are all newer models and the printers are slightly aged.
Don't know what to do??

722815 2008-11-25 07:50:00 Well that Brother printer is a network printer already so no need for a print server for it.
So I just need to find a little one for the Canon S6300.
I rang Canon (NZ) some time ago and they could not help me re what brand or model of server to buy..

Why muck around with printer servers etc? Old school!! Get with it. Last Saturday I introduced the members of this forum to PRINTERSHARE (www.printeranywhere.com).

Easy to set up, easy to use. Cost? There is none!! Free.

Yah can't beat that.

722818 2008-11-25 19:31:00 Burnzee how does that get around leaving the PC that the printer is connected to turned on so that other PC's can print.

Windows built in software already does that for sharing.

Like Gary67 I have a linksys PSUS4 also which works fine.
