The D-Link DP-301 print server provides an auto-sensing dual-speed 10/100 Mbps port, allowing flexible attachment to either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. This LAN port automatically detects the connected type of network and adjusts the speed accordingly, completely without any need for users to intervene. The DP-301 print server is designed for the SOHO networks or for sites with printers scattered in different places. It provides a single high-speed parallel port. This lower-cost print server avoids the waste of any unused port. A simple-to-operate GUI under Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT makes it possible to set up the print server in a matter of minutes. Telnet support means that the administrator can also configure and maintain the print server from any station on a Unix or TCP/IP network. The parallel ports support HP PJL protocol for bi-directional network printer communication, proactively providing the administrator with critical information about the network.
1 Ok, But very old
My 3 /win2k systems do not see or work with this unit. My NT4.0 sp6 does see it and works fine. Dlinks tech support had me add Netwre Client and NWLink Protocols to my Win2k systems, would still not work, they then told me to update the printservers firmware to 1,38, but this is not available on their site anywhere. This thing was made in 1997 ! and has not been updated to work with newer OS's. If you only have NT 4 systems go ahead and get it. But if you have any NEW systems (OS) then pass it by.
