Hawking Technology HPS12U Internet Print Server 2 USB 1 Parallel NEW

Description

Hawking Technology HPS12U Internet Print Server 2 USB 1 Parallel NEW.
I purchased this unit several years ago with the thought of having multiple printers in my home office. It never happened. It has been sitting under my desk in a corner for those several years and I stumbled upon it recently. It still has the .99 price tag on it from Fry's Electronics (R.I.P.). It still has the shrink wrap, so the package has never been opened. If you're looking for something like this for your situation, this is a nice savings from new on an unopened,  unused unit.

From the Hawking Web Site ( The picture there is different but the specifications seem to be identical):
Internet Printing
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) allows you to easily connect to any printer and print documents by specifying the device\’s URL. With IPP Technology, printing over a WAN or the Internet becomes much easier. You can send a job to a printer in another country just as easily as to a printer in your own office. Why use a fax to send information from office to office when you can print your documents directly from your computer to another out-of-office printer?
Network your printer
The Hawking 3-Port (2 USB + 1 Parallel) Internet Print Server is extremely powerful and the most convenient way to connect your printer to a network. It provides a 10/100Mbps auto-sensing port, allowing flexible attachment to either 10BaseT or 100BaseTX networks without the need for a dedicated PC print server. The PS12U also supports multiple servers and multiple protocols, which will allow you to print from anywhere, from any computer and from any application.
The HPS12U not only gives network users greater flexibility, but also reduces file server load. This enhances both printing performance as well as overall network performance. You can place your printer anywhere in the network. There is no need to place your printer right next to the workstation or file server.
Managing your PS12U is simple. The built-in Web Management feature will allow you to configure, monitor the status of and even reset the PS12U from anywhere via a web browser. Furthermore, the PS12U supports the most popular network protocols such as Microsoft NetBEUI, Novell IPX/SPX, Macintosh AppleTalk*, TCP/IP, IPP which will allow you to connect the PS12U to any platform such as Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP, NT, NetWare, UNIX, LINUX and Macintosh networks.
