this was my first print server, and i've had no problems with it.
but it is a great little print server...
i wanted to be able to put my printer on the home network so i could share it between a laptop and desktop computer.
the setup with windows xp is a little weird, but the installation guide talks you through it step by step.
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.
it does take someone with a little networking knowledge, but it could certainly be a lot worse.
i have a completely d-link home network (router and wireless network card).
they have a tiny list of supported devices, and they only support the printer mode of the aio, and *not* scanning & faxing!
summary: i spent a total of 13 hours on the phone with d-link customer support trying to resolve technical issues and get this device working with my basic home wireless network.
summary: got this mf wps from officedepot.com for a good price of about $60+taxes.
this allowed me to change the print server ip address to the same subnet as my home network, and was relatively simple to do as the documentation with the print server walked me through it.
this is a great, fast, inexpensive print server that integrated well and painlessly into my mixed wired and wireless mac-based home network.
setup took a little bit but now that it's set up, it works fine.
i purchased this to install in a coworkers home and was not at all looking forward to setting it up.
comments: i have three computers at my home and my biggest problem used to be my desktop had to be running non stop if i needed to print anything over my network.
pros: gives multiple users basic scanner options over a shared wireless connection.
pros: if you want a wired print server it seems to work well.
pros: supports most printers, long range wireless, advanced security.
