Print server box or print server card in printer?
I'm after a print for a network and what are the pros and cons in
getting an external print server such as one from D-Link or buying a printer with a NIC card internally? Are the performance,setting issue that make one method better than the other? Cost:-A internal card for a printer is about £150 extra (Kyocera Mita fs-1010 for example). A D-link DP-300U is about £90. Cheers... Chris..... Post a follow-up to this message |

They are far more convenient: no extra power supplies or signal cables, no external box at all. -- Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota * USA |
