IRVINE, CA – March 27, 2008 – Hawking Technologies, Inc., the leading manufacturer of network print servers, announced today the expansion of its print server product line with the addition of a print server designed to operate with multifunction printers as well as share USB storage devices. This addition to Hawking Technologies’ current line of print servers is the first of its kind to specifically target the functionality between multifunction printers and print servers.
The HMPS1U connects your USB 2.0 or 1.1 multifunction printer to your existing home or office network, allowing you to use the printer’s multifunction capabilities (scan and copy) while sharing the print functions of the multifunction printer with other computers on your network. The HMPS1U uses special NetUSB technology that recognizes print calls from your network computers and differentiates them from scan and copy functions, which are handled by your network’s main multifunction capable host computer. Network users will now be able to attach and share a multifunction printer without the need for a dedicated computer acting as a print server.
The HMPS1U’s advanced printer sharing capabilities also allow you to print within your local area network or print remotely from the any client computer outside of your network. You can use the HMPS1U to print to your local printer from any computer attached to the Internet from anywhere in the world. The HMPS1U’s advanced features make this unique print server the first of its kind that is compatible with a majority of multifunction printer brands on the market. The HMPS1U can also share a USB storage device (thumb drive, card reader, hard drive, etc…) over a network, making it much more than just a print server. It seamlessly connects to any RJ-45 Ethernet based network and allows you to start printing to your multifunction printer or share data after an easy to follow setup utility installation.
