DLink Router W/Print Server

[orion25]

Computer geeks has the Dlink DI-704P for 37.50. This is basically a DI-604 with a Print Server built in. Pretty Good Deal.

Comp Geekks DI-704P (http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=di-704p-r)

But check the specifications, it only works with a handfull of printers.

It should actually work with any printer that isn't usb.

Not according to my 704-P manual, and not according to my discussion with the phone tech support provided by the manufacturer.

Both of these sources listed a short list of compatible printers. I'll do the search and try to come up with the list.

Edit: Here is the website listing all known compatible printers for the DI-704P click here (http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=703&question=DI-713P%20/%20DI-704P/revA%20DI-704P/revB%20%20/%20DI-714P+)

Even if the print server will not work with your printer it is still a pretty good price for a Dlink router without a MIR. Consider the print server a bonus!

In addition to being easy to setup and install, their onphone tech support is great.

This is a fine product, and I'm enjoying the one I installed in my network.

So, I already have a wireless DI-614 router. But it has no print server. Could I order the DI-704p and hook it into my router? I want to also have the ability to put one of my computers in the DMZ zone and it will have the printer attached to it.

Basically, does the DI-704 have an uplink port? Or should I kill DHCP and go with static IP addresses?

Um. I'm NOT one to threadcrap, but it doesn't seem like that great of a deal to me. After reading the tech support link above about printer incompatibilities it seems like the only advantage of this router over one of the same price (but with a $30 rebate) is that it's got kind of a crappy print server attached to it. OH and it's refurbished.
