TRENDnet 3-Port Print Server TE100-P21

No not 1, not even 2, but 3, yes 3 printers, running different OS's at the same time from a single print server, the TRENDnet 3-Port Print Server TE100-P21

In my sales department, I currently have 3 printers and around 2 desktops and 4 notebooks running... I initially bought a single printer server, it worked--for one printer... but what about the other two?

My printers are 1 Epson LX-300II dot matrix, 1 classic yet robust HP Laserjet 6L printer and an economy HP Laserjet 1020... now how do you run them across OS's at the same time without problems? a 3 printer print server! The OS's I'm currently running within the are Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux... and a couple other Windows 7  notebooks across the network.

The Trendnet print server has 3 ports, 2 USB ports and 1 LPT printer port.

I must admit it was easier and faster setting up the printers from Ubuntu compared to Windows.

With Ubuntu simply add network printers and the 3 printers from the server attached through the network would just pop out, where as with Windows your better of going through the print server's installation software, than manually installing the printers.

This is still cheaper compared to buying single port print servers that is if you have 3 or more printers in the network.
