The Netgear PS-110 (discontinued) Wired Print Server has been my friend for around 10 years now. I’d originally purchased it to make my HP LaserJet 2100 printer available to my roommate (rather than sharing the printer through Windows sharing. Which required that my PC be on, and blah blah.) I’d purchased it in an era of Windows 98/ME/2000. Today, the thing still works like a champ with Windows 7, but I occasionally need a reminder of how to configure the thing.
Thankfully, Netgear still operates it’s discontinued support FAQs and they have an knowledgebase article on. (Replicated here, in case they ever take it down which assumes my trusty little PS110 will keep plugging along.).

In the field for Printer Name or IP Address, type the IP address of the print server and click Next. Note: You may check other computer’s printer port to verify the IP address of the print server. Select Custom and click Settings button. Under Protocol field, select LPR. For Queue Name, type L1 depending on what print server port is the printer connected to.
