[Gllug] Print servers

My printers are connected to one of my PCs through a switch box, which is
less than optimal as it (a) has to be switched on to print; and (b) I can
only use one printer at a time.

So I'm looking at network print servers. Looking at the usual suspects for
soho kit, I've found the Netgear PS-113 [1] and the DLink DP-303 [2].

Does anyone have any experience of these or recommendations for
alternatives to meet this spec:

2+ parallel ports
10/100 Ethernet
Work with Linux, Windows and preferably Mac
Quiet
sub £200

TIA,

Simon.
