Network print server with USB 2.0

The Linksys WPSM54G connects a USB multifunction printer to a wired or wireless network so that every user can print, scan, fax and copy without a dedicated host PC. It suits small offices or home workgroups that want to place the printer anywhere within wireless range.

Check printer and network compatibility

Verify that your multifunction printer uses a USB 2.0 port and is supported by the server’s compatibility list. Your router or access point must offer 802.11b/g wireless or a 10/100 Ethernet port, and all client PCs need network access to the same subnet.

Dual wired and wireless connectivity

The unit provides an RJ45 port for 10/100 Ethernet and an 802.11b/g radio for 54 Mbps Wireless-G, letting you choose cabled reliability or cable-free placement. A single USB 2.0 port serves the printer, while the network interfaces handle simultaneous wired and wireless clients.

Questions about this item

What cables and accessories come with the WPSM54G, and do I need to buy a USB printer cable separately?

The box contains the print server, a power adapter, an Ethernet cable and a quick-install CD; a standard USB 2.0 cable to reach your printer is not included.

Should I use the 54 Mbps wireless link or the 10/100 wired port for my multifunction printer?

Use the 10/100 Ethernet port when the printer sits near the router for rock-steady throughput; choose 54 Mbps Wireless-G when you need to place the printer away from cable runs.

Will the 54 Mbps Wireless-G speed handle scanning and copying from my USB 2.0 multifunction device?

Yes — the 54 Mbps link carries print, scan, fax and copy jobs; the server grants exclusive access to each function so large scans do not block other users.
