Buffalo Technology LPV3-U2

$68.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the print job just stopped after a few seconds.
from www.amazon.com
it is small in size but gets the job done quickly.
from www.newegg.com
other thoughts: too bad it only handles <1m jobs.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased this to share an epson inkjet printer, and did the job out of the box, the only thing that i miss is the ability to use the ink monitor to alert me when ink is running low.
from www.newegg.com
pros: works well for small print jobs.

D-LINK DPR1260 Rangebooster G Multifunction

$106.00 Est. at Amazon

from TJB from m, www.circuitcity.com
but i had to go to 'commonly asked questions' on the d-link website toget instructions on how to get the computer to talk to the server (wirelessly) and send print jobs to the printers...
from www.pcmall.com
in its defense, the unit does a pretty good job and has several options to include scanning from the automatic feeder and defining paper size.
from Yellow from North Carolina, www.circuitcity.com
the laptop, on the other hand, is wireless andprint jobs take a long time.
from www.compuplus.com
the wireless scanning is via a dlink web interface that has limited options, but does a good job.
from www.newegg.com
the signal is very strong even at a distance and the print server seems very responsive when sending jobs.

NetGear PS101 PS101NA

from www.amazon.com
i was also not interested in a 'switch box' that either required manual flipping of the switch or paying much more for automated directing of your print job.
from www.amazon.com
i was getting a communication error on all 3 computers every time i printed even though the print job went through, but was able to disable the error notification in the printer driver (had to do
from www.amazon.com
i was worried at first as most of my print jobs still come from a windows98 pc, and by default doesn't have the ability to use an ip address for defining a printer port.
from www.newegg.com
responds very quickly to print jobs.
from www.amazon.com

it gets the job done, slow but it gets done.
from www.amazon.com
belkin needs to do a better job of getting this info out where the customers can find it.
from www.amazon.com
this unit does a good job, but is not perfect.

IOGear USB 2.0 1 Port GPSU21

IOGear USB 2.0 Print Server, 1 Port (GPSU21) Print Server

$47.00 Est. at Amazon

from Ken from Pittsburgh, PA, clickfrom.buy.com
once it's installed, it just does its job, and it's so small, it'll fit anywhere.
from www.tigerdirect.com
what stumped me and tech support was the print server was getting the jobs, but nothing to the printer.
from A Customer from Denver, CO, clickfrom.buy.com
compared to my other one, the setup was nearly instantaneous, and the print jobs come out super fast.
from www.newegg.com
it got stuck at selecting the printer that was connected and as such it never finished but it did its job and set an ip on the device.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
it small, out of the way and does the job.

from www.pricegrabber.com
not one single dropped print job.
from RouterRooter from San Diego, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
this device did a good enough job that i now have two of them.
from bvrev.compusa.com
i'm not sure why the previous guy had problems with getting ink cartrige status as my hp color laser shows ink level just fine as well as job status - on all machines.
from www.amazon.com
it's not documented well, but that is how you can get pc's to submit jobs wirelessly your canon mp780 via the netgear's print server.
from www.newegg.com
other thoughts: setup for print servers seem to be a bit more complicated compared to other wireless devices, and the instructions don't do a very good job explaining the process.

$38.00 Est. at Amazon

from bvrev.compusa.com
what stumped me and tech support was the print server was getting the jobs, but nothing to the printer.
from www.amazon.com
ports tab and look for something like, "lpt:ps56ea-1", verify or check the box next to it to make sure that windows is not trying to print to a file on the hdd and is sending the job to the iogear.
from www.amazon.com
this is not a file/print server, as you cannot send print jobs to it or request files from it.
from www.amazon.com
of size, efficiency and design (although, with its minimal mass, the device begs to be powered thru the usb.) cosmic forces delivered a most highly reliable print server just right for the job.
from www.amazon.com
at first i thought that it was because the network is much slower than a direct usb 2.0 connection (400mbps), but doing the math on the print jobs logged on the unit, it takes data at merely 200kbps

from www.mwave.com
on ocassions it might seem that printing stopped working.symptoms: ever experience that print jobs fail (i.e: the printer status box may show "printer spooling" or similar message before an error
from www.tigerdirect.com
i gave it 5 stars because i bought a recertified one at less than half the price of new, it is the only print server i have ever bought and it does the job.
from www.pricegrabber.com
symptoms: ever experience that print jobs fail (i.e: the printer status box may show "printer spooling" or similar message before an error says printer is busy/not available).
from bvrev.compusa.com
unfortunately, each time i send a print job to the server, the server goes offline and must be rebooted after completing the job.
from bvrev.compusa.com
jobs can therefore be slow to start, but not amazingy so.

Linksys WIRELESS G

$78.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
can't help it if the device is tricky to install and the effort to make it work is less than what it takes to get the job done.
from A Customer from Layton, UT, clickfrom.buy.com
my wife's issue is that she has had to learn to wait for the print job to actually finish printing before powering off her laptop.
from www.bestbuy.com
it does that job perfectly.
from www.bestbuy.com
linksys has done a purely outstanding job of writing instructions, both hard copy and on the computer screen.
from www.amazon.com

Linksys PSUS4

$75.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
i ended up buying another printer to share on the network and the server does a great job with just a regular lexmark printer.
from kputer, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: does the job, comes with cables and p/s weaknesses: none summary: this was perfect for the price.
from www.amazon.com
you will get messages if another print job is being fed to the printer, but it does handle the jobs in order.
from www.newegg.com
the fact that you expect linksys to provide you with a list of supported devices is unrealistic, mainly because this print server is designed for a specific setup, making it your job to make sure
from www.amazon.com
the 7660 was not even recognized and although the 7350 was achknowledged, the the printer never recieved the print job.

this print server does the job for my home network of wired and and wireless desktop and laptop machines.
from Tom J. from Hampton, VA, clickfrom.buy.com
a small detail that they do a poor job of pointing out in there advertizing.
from www.newegg.com
cons: for my windows xp systems, printer took about 5 seconds to respond when sending a print job from my pc when i added the printer using the set-up option in manual to "connect to this printer."
from www.newegg.com
pros: it works but setup is alittle tricky cons: it only works the printer but not the scanner (if you had an all-in-one you loose the scanner function) and you need to make shure you set the

from A Customer from Naperville, IL, clickfrom.buy.com
when the laser jet 5 was connected to an old, busy desktop, print jobs took5-15 minutes to reach the printer, particularly .pdf jobs.
from www.newegg.com
it contains all relevant information on your printer (pages printed, current job, status, a user print log, and much more).cons: none.
from www.amazon.com
when my printers where connected directly via the parallel port, printing was slower and the cpu was maxed out until the print job completed.
from www.amazon.com
print jobs are served from anywhere in the house now.
from www.newegg.com
great job guys.
