Can the Mediasmart Home Server run a printer? Can the Mediasmart Home Server run a printer?

Yes, it can. It's not part of the supported functions (you'll get a dire warning telling you not to log directly on to the server because you can mess it up), but it's actually easy to do. First, I would download the printer installation package to your computer, and then copy it into the "Shared Folders on Server" that should be on your desktop or somewhere in My Documents. Go to run, type in "MSTSC.exe" and hit "OK". This will allow you to log on remotely to the server. Then you can open the "Shared Folders" on the server itself, and run the printer installation software. Just allow the server to share the printer, and any computer on the network can print to it. It's worked like a charm for me.

i actually got on a tech chat with HP, and they said "No, it does NOT support a print server" - right from HP...

Caveat: I don't own one. But most of your questions have more to do with Linux. The only sharing problem you might have is if there aren't linux drivers for your printer. Otherwise it will happily see and work with your home lan. You can probably find the printer driver with a little googling up front. SMTP client: Dunno what's on board, but you can download and install any of several. Mozilla makes a very slick open source email client. Hope it helps at least a bit.

no. If the printer is not explicitly listed as compatible, then it is not compatible.

The QL500 is not on TPLink's compatibility list. That does not mean that it won't work with this printer, but it might require manual setup rather than using the setup software. Manual setup would require configuring the IP address of the server to be compatible with your network, configuring a printer port on each computer that would use the printer and installing the printer driver.

I haven't set up the printer yet. But I have not seen anything that suggests I need a specific type of printer. I will update if I find out something different.

I don't know if you can send directly to a printer, but definitely you can transfer a document from your AlphaSmart to your computer and then print from there.

I have not used it that way but I would think it would work with Windows Home Server 2003. If the operating system can see USB connected devices/drives. May be some latency issues if the drives are not accessed regularly.

Neither. it simply makes printers usable on a network by tricking your PC or Mac into thinking that the device is attached to a usb port. Not an elegant solution, lacks meaningful support from the manufacturer, and unfortunately the software is a bit buggy. We basically stopped using the printer until I find time to implement some other solution.

Yes it can. As long as the computer you are using is on the same subnet. Assign the printer a static IP address and then configure your PC to print to that IP address and install the MX310dn driver. :)

Yes, your kitchen printer can work if you use wi-fi / bluetooth. Hard wire your receipt printer to the square and run the kitchen printer remotely.

No, this is a device intended to share mass storage units, Most printers today either can be connected by Ethernet or WiFi (or both), or if you have to share an older printer that doesn't allow sharing, you can connect an old printer to a printer sharing device.

Not by itself. You would need a wireless print server, which can be found at Amazon.

You can two ways. On a cloud printer hooked up to your network or an existing (old style) printer as long as it is hooked to the network and a PC of some sort.

Yes! You could add it to a network, with the addition of a $25 J4102B HP Jetdirect 170x Print Server (here on amazon).. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00012HV9U/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition;=used Hope this helps!

It should be able too, but I bought it only for my edible images. I love the printer.
