    Print Server FYI

    I just checked the online manual for this router and the print server is PC ONLY. Damn!

    IOGEAR should fix stuff

    IOGEAR should first FIX their drivers for the USB2 cards that are based on the ALi chipset under panther and THEN come out with new products. Their NEC-based cards work, but their ALI ones don't. FIX it people, we don't need new products that can't be supported in a year from now, we need support!!

    Macs can print too.

    Looking through the manual I see no mention of "PC Only" for the print server. It looks like uses the standard TCP/IP printing. OS X can do this (10.2 has it built in, 10.1 can use gimp-print) with no problems.

    They didn't include OS X instructions in the manual however. Hopefully that's an oversight they'll remedy soon.
