Title: NAS with Print server?
Post by: Beaker on April 15, 2007, 23:41:38 PM
Just hunting around as im thinking of replacing my existing IcyBox NAS with a Print Server/NAS combo, or just adding one onto the network alongside the existing box.  Does anyone have any personal recommendations on these?

So please, if anyone has any recommendations (preferably under £60) can then point me in the right direction?  Ive been using the IcyBox and Netgear ones for a while, but none with print servers integrated.

mm, Ive tried a few, but non have been very good :(

I always had problems printing anything over a few meg, so have ended up plugging my printer into my old pc (just because the cable wont reach my new one)

p.s. if anyone has any recomendations for one that works wekk, Id be intrested too !.... tho I bought the best domestic stand alone print server I could find a while back and its just the same :(

its sat on the server at the moment, but due to lack of space im being forced to move the fileserver into a different room  I want to keep the Printer, NAS and Router nearby.  The Server itself is being put through a wireless dongle.
