Lantronix’s xPrintServer Network Edition print server is the size of a deck of cards.

“Once plugged into the network, it makes all recognized network printers on the current subnet available to any iOS device (running iOS 4.2 or later) also on that subnet,” Galen Gruman reports for InfoWorld. “There’s zero configuration needed for the print server, nor any configuration or app installation on the iOS device.”

“Printers simply show up in the printer list from any iOS app with a Print option in its Share menu,” Gruman reports. “It’s truly plug-and-play. And it just works.”

Gruman reports, “Because you can plug the xPrintServer into any Ethernet jack, you can install it practically anywhere you have a power outlet and Ethernet… The Web administration features should also put IT at ease with the xPrintServer; in fact, you’ll buy a lot of goodwill from users if you install an xPrintServer once the product is commercially available this winter. Even better, it will cost just $149.”
