Why is Intel no longer offering the NetportExpress 10 and 10/100 print servers?
Intel continually reviews its product offerings to ensure a smart fit with overall strategic goals and priorities. As a commitment to this goal, Intel has decided to discontinue research and development in print servers, and instead focus energies on other product categories.
How long will Intel provide software or firmware updates for the NetportExpress 10 and 10/100 print servers?

Will Intel provide support for Windows* XP?
Intel will provide support for the Operating Systems listed on the Workstation and Network Operating System Printing Support page. Windows XP is not a supported OS on this list.

What if I have problems with my NetportExpress 10 and 10/100 print server and need an RMA?

Print this form, fill it out and follow the directions to fax it to the Intel RMA department. Proof-of-purchase showing that you are the original owner is required.
Since Intel will no longer offer the NetportExpress 10 and 10/100 print servers, are you recommending a different product(s)?
Intel will not be creating a new generation of Print Serves to replace the NetportExpress 10 and 10/100 print server line. However, there are other vendors who sell similar print servers. Ask you local distributor or VAR for a recommendation.
