Specs and features for Duo v2 and NV+ v2?

Many thanks for resolving the mystery.
I am very disapointed by the fact that Duo v2 doesn't have print server functionality. I didn't know for existence of "v2" but when I was searching for a good alternative to Iomega iConnect device (shared storage is catastrophe, print server works from time to time), I intended to buy a product with those 2 functionalities.
When I checked Netgear site for ReadyNAS Duo, it offered me "new and better" ReadyNAS Duo v2.
When I checked for Print Server functionality, it was explicitly said that v2 supports it:
http://www.readynas.com/kb/products/duo_v2
then click the question: Can I attach two or more USB Printers to the ReadyNAS? (under "Hardware" section)
There are folks who can "ssh" and play with toys, but I can't, I am not linux guru (and I don't want to be), just want to be a user of "working" product. If netgear.com and readynas.com can't be consistent, it's not our problem! (it seems that it is...)
I have spent a couple of weeks trying to make that piece of c... called iConnect to work, than I gave up. Than I bought ReadyNAS Duo v2 and spent couple of days transferring my data and setting up the environment to work with ReadyNAS. If I am not tired of all that game, I'd return it to the store.
Shame on Netgear! This is not the way to treat your customers.
If this is the way to force people to buy print servers, than you should synchronise pre-sales data on your websites.
