Howdy

Am after a USB Print server to use with an Epson SX200

will this do the job?

What happens re drivers, do i need to load them onto the server - or does it just use locally installed drivers.

A word of caution. I use a number of printer servers at work made by a company called Edimax. They are all parallel printer servers and work very reliably.

I was about to recommend them (with a caveat that I'd not used their USB products), however I see they make more than one USB printer server. A basic windows (GDI, host based) printer server is c. £25 from dabs, however a MFP printer server is more like £45. As your Epson is MFP, it may not be as straightforward as buying the cheapest thing off eBay and expecting all the functions to work..

HTH,

Plug
