This little device is remarkable. Allows you to have full functionality of all your USB devices over ethernet. I have a Canon MP830, a USB 1TB Hard Drive, an external BD DVD player/writer and thumb drives attached to it through a powered USB hub and all features work on all my comps, combination of XP and Vista64. from Amazon.com My printer is an older AIO - Canon MP780. I got tired of trying to share the printer via a desktop PC, and started looking for a way to attach the printer to my network directly. Whichever solution I chose, it needed to be an easy-to-use, transparent operation for my wife and teenagers. Hoping for a "that was easy" experience, I contemplated purchasing a new printer with built-in networking. from Amazon.com This product does exactly what it's supposed to do. Setup was straight forward and once installed using it is simple. I use 3 Vista machines on my home network (2 wired, 1 wireless)and access with no problems via the SX 2000U2 an Epson GT S50 scanner and an HP deskjet. from Amazon.com I've had this unit for over 18 months now. It works well to allow printing from various computers. from Amazon.com My purpose was to remotely connect a PC to a Cannon Photo camera which it does perfectly well though the camera was not listed in the compatible devices for this USB converter. Good product. from Amazon.com I recently bought a Canon MP610 printer/scanner, and I needed a bi-directional print server to be able to print and scan from it on my two Macs and my PC. I had previously tried a D-Link 1260, which didn't support or recognize my printer, and a Keyspan US-4A, which blue-screened my PC and didn't work with my Macs. from Amazon.com The device works very well. The latest SW actually supports automatic connection and disconnection. It has however 1 problem: it is not fully compatible with WinXP fast user switching (FUS). I bought it so that any one could print -easily- from any computer (desktop or laptops) in the house. from Amazon.com We use this product to share USB printers (and occasionally other devices) between XP and Vista PC's in a home office. We have not had any problems in setting up or using it. from Amazon.com Hoping for a "that was easy" experience, I contemplated purchasing a new printer with built-in networking. However, the current crop of network-ready, $250-or-less multifunctions didn't seem to be better than what I already had - plus my Canon was chugging along just fine for our light-duty needs. When I came across the SX-2000U2, I rolled the dice and ordered it up - but I was leery of the price: it represented roughly half the cost of a whole new "networked" printer/scanner. It turns out, I'm very happy! from Amazon.com I recently bought a Canon MP610 printer/scanner, and I needed a bi-directional print server to be able to print and scan from it on my two Macs and my PC.
