ShareSpool XL - parallel/serial adapter - 8 ports

The ShareSpool XL family of products enables four, eight or sixteen users to transparently share up to four printers. These intelligent printer-sharing solutions combine high-performance and long-distance cabling with ease-of-use and affordability. With ShareSpool XL, multiple users can share the cost of a high-quality printer without sacrificing performance. ShareSpool XL installs in minutes and is easy to use. These printer-sharing products accept documents on all ports simultaneously without manual switching or waiting for other jobs to finish. Once documents are transmitted to ShareSpool XL, the computers are free to move on to new tasks. Computers operate as if they were directly connected to the printer. ShareSpool XL is ideal in complex network environments. ShareSpool XL can help you reduce the amount of traffic on the network by giving users a simple, direct connection to the printer(s). ShareSpool XL can also be used as a backup printing system to your network in mission-critical office environments, so you can print even when the network is down. ShareSpool XL products are compatible with a wide variety of cabling environments. By supporting inexpensive 4, 6 or 8-wire cabling, many existing cabling schemes can be used with ShareSpool XL. This product is designed for Hewlett-Packard LaserJet II, IID, III or IIID printers.
