Hi guys!
I have a question on print servers. So here's my situation:
I have 3 printers:
epson c40
HP d4160
Brother HL-2140
Right now, epson and HP are connected to the desktop. The brother laser printer is located at the hallway hooked up to the power source with a usb cable dangling. If ever Anyone in the house wants to use the Brother, we just connect the usb to our laptop and print.
I read something about print servers and I think this i the best solution to our situation. It would be great if I can hook up all 3 of the printers to a print server (if this is possible) but if only one is possible, I would like to network the brother laser printer.
I researched on some pront servers on sale and i found this:

Also, I looked around craigslist and I found quite a number..

Can somebody tell me if these are compatible with my printers and/or this plan will actually work?
My router is dlink wbr-2310 and is connected to the desktop.
Thanks!

Perhaps a hub would be an easy way to network all three printers?
I know my school uses a print server but only as a way to cut down on paper waste from people ending their print jobs to the wrong printers ^^.
