Compare Linksys WPS54G Print Server to StarTech.com PM1115P Print Server

The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer lets you connect a USB printer directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print sharing chores. Using a PrintServer frees up your print share PC so you don't have to leave it on all the time. It also removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work. Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100 Ethernet cable, or wirelessly over 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g). The wireless option lets you put your printer wherever you want to, without having to run cables. Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to it, and the printer it's connected to. And if you don't use wireless for general networking in your office, you can still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print from visiting Wireless-G and Wireless-B PCs. Less

Print servers save you money by letting you share one printer between many networked users instead of having to purchase separate printers for each individual. StarTech.com's PM1115P does not require a dedicated print server PC, so you can position the printer anywhere you want on your network and avoid the performance bottleneck you``d have with an always-on PC acting as the print server. Straightforward Installation Wizards and remote web-based management make it easy to configure and use your print server. The palm-sized, lightweight print server plugs directly into your printer’s Centronics port and needs only an RJ-45 networking cable to connect it to the rest of your network. Compatible with most major operating systems, the PM1115P is the perfect parallel printer solution for home or small office networks Less
