D-Link's DP-301P Fast Ethernet print server is a compact device that attaches to a parallel printer. This device permits the printer to print files from a large number of users connected over a Fast Ethernet network. Designed to work with the PC and Macintosh, this pocket-sized device saves users cost by doing away with the need to equip every workstation with a dedicated printer. Multiple computers can share a single printer; the print server queues users print files, allowing the printer to print them out in an orderly manner.Through the DP-301P, users connected over a network who access the Internet, run Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT, access files from a Novell NetWare server, or run Unix, Linux or MacOS can all print files transparently from the shared printer.At one end of the DP-301P is a 36-pin high-speed Centronics parallel port that plugs directly to the printer without any need for printer cable.
