Keyspan said today it is now shipping a new USB server for connecting USB devices to networks. The Keyspan USB 2.0 Server is priced at $129 and is available through a variety of retailers.

The Keyspan USB 2.0 Server lets one access two USB 2.0 devices over a local network through an Ethernet connection. It also acts as an extender in that it lets a host PC make use of the USB device as long as both are connected to the network. The USB 2.0 Server is compatible with most USB devices such as printers and storage devices and also allows for bi-directional communication with printers.

This server, which works with Windows and Mac machines, could solve the problems of having one printer and five computers in need of printing to it. You of course will still need to get up to fetch what you printed. What, you expected you would be able to get away with not having to still run to the printer?
