TRENDnet sets new ground by offering a complete line of print server solutions for the small and medium business market.

Torrance, CA – September 18 — TRENDnet, a leading manufacturer of networking products worldwide, announced today the expansion of their print server product family with the addition of six new wired and wireless solutions. The new line of print servers are intended to increase productivity and flexibility by turning conventional USB and Parallel Port printers into shared resources anywhere on a company’s network, thereby helping to save money. The wide assortment of print servers means customers are more likely to find a solution that fits their particular networking needs. With the new line-up, TRENDnet now has the broadest assortment of print servers in the small business-networking category.

“TRENDnet’s new print server family provides more flexibility and features for our customers. Our new Wireless print servers, cut the cords on traditional network printing and allow users to place their printers anywhere, not just where there is a network port,” stated Pei Huang, TRENDnet president. “Our new combo print servers allow users to connect both USB and Parallel Port printers through a single device.”

The new family offers a number of new features that improve ease of install and configuration. Several of the new print servers support Auto-IP, which means the print server will automatically assign an IP address to itself if a DHCP server is not available for plug-and-play recognition on the network. Also, each print server can be configured using a standard Web browser or Windows interface. And for remote configuration and management, SNMP is integrated into several of the new products as well.
