I'd like to move a printer to a closet and get it out of the way.

I have been using print servers for many years now for POS printers.
Seen them come and go. If I can offer one piece of advice, go with
dlink. They have been the most reliable units I have used, and trust
me I have seen many thousands go out the door over theyears.



Thousands? Want to exaggerate a bit more for us?


Sure schoolboy. I have worked in hardware and software for only a
short time compared to most here, but i still have 20 odd years on
you.

Thousands is a guess, probably even more.
