NetGear PS101 Printer server was or is $50 @ CompUSA. It runs as high as
$80. Parallel port wired print server.

I bought the $100 Samsung, did not like the space it took up, returned it
got the Netgear print server (2 port version) and use the printer on the
other side of the house.

Thank you,
Eric Vogel
