This print server is pretty bad but I can't find anything better for under $300. I just figured out that this one fails most often when I print something, turn the printer off, then later turn the printer back on to print something else. from Amazon.com Worked for a while, web interface is junk (looks like it was made with Frontpage). Stopped working after a while, can't seem to be able to get back in using any of my admin passwords. from Amazon.com It's an ongoing battle trying to make it work. It will work for a couple of days and then quit without a particular reason. from Amazon.com I only wish I had read these reviews before I bought this turd of a product. For all the reasons the others mentioned, it fails on every level. Squirrely installation, S-L-O-W print jobs, runs super hot. Zero documentation, no web support, and no response from customer service. from Amazon.com To start with the documentation is substandard, and the web interface is only half functional. The default username/password (admin:1234, which I had to cull the internet for more than an hour to even find since it isn't even in the documentation) doesn't work on half the web interface. I can change the password (sometimes) change most configuration things (POST printout doesn't seem to work at all) and modify a few other settings but the important things don't seem to work at all: I can't make it accept dhcp or otherwise modify the ip and I can't do ANYTHING about the dhcp server it has. from Amazon.com An awful lot of the Hawking equipment at Fry's had "returned item" stickers on them, but for some reason I decided to go ahead and buy one of these anyway. Big mistake. from Amazon.com I've been using the Hawking HPS1U Print Server about 4 months now. Very slow but having light printing needs I could live with that. from Amazon.com Having a small home office of 3 desktops and 2 laptops, this seemed like a great solution for everyone to share printing. A win98, win2k, 2 win xp, and a linux box (Fedora) all connected easily via IP and overall setup was fairly easy. from Amazon.com My epson photo printer stopped providing status information like ink level and it generates error whenever I print. from Amazon.com I was inpressed when I opened the box and found out that the company gives Linux support. It worked really well with my HP LaserJet 1200 SE, and both Linux/ Windows can use it without any problems. The printer works as fast (sometimes even faster!) as it was connected to your USB port. The server also comes with a nice Web Interface, Telnet Configuration Support, SNMP, AppleTalk, NetWare, DHCP, and many other nice little features. from Amazon.com
