We have a Netgear PS110 print server.  This model has 2 parallel
ports, no USB.

We print from Linux, Windows and OSX via a print queue on a RedHat box.

In contrast to some other posters, we have been using it for three years
with few problems.  We've rebooted occasionally during that time (maybe
4-5 times) but usually in conjunction with rebooting the Linux box running
the print queue.  We were never sure which one was the problem, so we
would do both.
