D-Link works well ... compared to the others First I tried the NetGear PS101 print server. I liked the spiffy form factor. I could talk to the print server admin web interface and get it to print a test page, but even after many, many hours could never get it to print a document. So I returned it.
After that debacle, I decided to splurge for the HP JetDirect. At first I could only get it to print the configuration page. A visit to the HP support forums turned up lots of references to the JetDirect not working with SP2 and t...

Excellent Product Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I purchased this product to share a laser printer with co-workers. It is very robust and has never needed a reset in the many months I've owned it. After owning a few other products from other vendors, which often required resets for no reason, this one is a champ.
The web interface is clean and easy to use. It contains all relevant information on your pr...

Dlink print server, works, but only with work.... This Dlink print server works fine once you figure it out; I am fairly computer and network savvy, but it still two me two hours to get this thing working.The instruction manual is a little inadequate; you know to use caution when they misspell the word "parallel" consistently. It would help a great deal to explain what to do if your network does not lie in the 192.168.0.0 network range, as mine does not. I knew what to do immediately when I saw that they preset the IP to 192.168.0.10, but I...

Great Product, Great Price This is a great product at a great price. Very easy to set-up and get printing within minutes out of the box. I purchased this mainly because I wanted the other computers on our home network to be be able to print if my Laptop(configured as the print server) was turned off, or I was away on business. I have two printers, 1 USB and 1 parallel, and this supports both of them, with room to add one more printer in the future!

horrible design Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy to set up
Cons: If you cannot log into the web interface there is no way to reset this device except sending it back to the factory. Major design flaw.
Other Thoughts: I own two of these, would never have bought them had I realized they could not be reset manually.

Server will not support multifunction printers After struggling with the instalation with my Canon F50 printer I called D Link Tech service. They advised me that the wireless server would not support any multi-function printers. Buy.com was great with the return but would suggest mentioning in the Tech Specs that the server does lack compatability with some printers...........

so easy to setup and works great I purchased this product for a friend who had purchased a brand new laptop with no parallel port on it. She has an HP Color LaserJet 4500 that is a great printer that gets services regularly and did not want to stop using it. Everyone at CompUSA was telling her to buy a new printer. This printer brand new was $3000 and is a work horse. I found the D-Link parallel print server and bought it to hook this printer up to her existing home/office wireless network. It was easy to setup and I had i...

Was a 4star, now a 2star.... go with a Linksys PS instead! Unlike some other reviewers, I was able to install the print server in a snap, simply following the directions provided in the manual. However, it's possible that my setup was simpler than others' because my network was already setup in the manner that the manual assumes.
A quick suggestion before blindly following the directions in the manual:
1. before doing anything, select start menu->run and enter "cmd" (no quotes). That will bring up a command window
2. At...

Nothing wrong with this product The documentation is a little lacking, and only covers the most basic of installations, but if you are putting a print-server into your home network, then I would assume you are no lacky to home-networking.
I plugged this little jewel into my wireless access point slash 4 port router, connected all my printers, and now I can access any one of my three printers from any computer in my wireless network. Sweet!
Try it, you'll like it...
Take Care,
