D-LINK DPR1260 Rangebooster G Multifunction

$106.00 Est. at Amazon

from A Customer from San Diego, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
however, the documentation is very poor - the main idea is that you have to connect to the print server's home page (like a router, it has a home page).
from Randy from Atlanta, GA, www.circuitcity.com
the print server came with fairly good documentation for set up on the windows-based computers.
from www.pcmall.com
my only use of the documentation was to obtain the initial ip address for the dpr 1260 (192.168.0.10).
from Chris from Chicago, IL, clickfrom.buy.com
3) the documentation could have included specifics for manually attaching to the printers.
from AL H. from Woodbury, Minnesota, clickfrom.buy.com
i was quite happy, the documentation is quite limited, but the install still went quite smooth.

Trendware TEW-P1PG

$93.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the documentation could be better and you need a windows computer (or wine) to get this running because the web interface doesn't work out of the box.
from www.newegg.com
the documentation contains several inaccurate instructions.
from www.amazon.com
i suspect there isn't a lot of documentation from trendnet because the setup is up very simple.
from me, www.newegg.com
documentation is good cons: took a moment to figure out how to get wpa to work with my linksys router because they don't use the same names for the protocol trendnet's wpa-psk is equivalent to
from www.amazon.com
i encountered no difficulty with the setup or documentation.

NetGear WGPS606 WGPS606NA

$67.00 Est. at Amazon

from A Customer from Hampton, New Hampshire, clickfrom.buy.com
the documentation is not sufficient and configuring a wireless device like this requires connecting it to a networked pc first before putting it online.
from bvrev.compusa.com
another problem for some people will be lack of documentation and install cd - netgear.com solved all of those issues.
from www.amazon.com
i won't lie, the user interface and documentation doesn't speak to the effect of bridging so much as it does the print serving.
from www.newegg.com
although the documentation says you can hook a computer up to the wgps606 with a fixed ip and connect to the unit on it's default ip, i had no such luck, even trying a few other common and similar
from www.amazon.com
i looked all over in the documentation to find the mac, but couldn't find it.

Buffalo Technology LPV3-U2

$68.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
one bit of information that i could not find in the furnished documentation, was the user name for loging into the print server useing the browser.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
more often is that printing simply hangs the printer and the spooler service.documentation claims vista certified but has no install procedure for vista (although vista and xp installs are similar
from www.newegg.com
documentation is adequate, though not very detailed.
from www.newegg.com

from Stooge, www.newegg.com

D-Link DP-300U DHDP300U

$86.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
(note: it still goes over the network, it just looks local to the pc.) however i was miffed that i paid double the price for a device which required a competitors documentation to get to work.
from www.amazon.com
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
from www.newegg.com
works perfect with static ip or dhcp.cons: most problems with computer products are the lousy documentation.
from www.amazon.com
the documentation is a little sparse and the connections are not quite intuitive.
from www.tigerdirect.com
i've been using this unit for over 2 years and it works great.a little understanding of how to assign ip addresse's would be a plus in your favor,especially if you are using a router which might have

HP HP Q6236A Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit

Hewlett Packard HP Q6236A Hp Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit Print Server

$93.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
all in all i would give this product 5 stars if the documentation was better written.
from www.amazon.com
my experience is to carefully read the documentations from both the manual and the cd, which are come with the kit, first and then i have no problem to have a successful installation.

Trendware TE100-P21

$80.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
though, like others have said, the documentation here was sparce (not good for the inexperienced), i'd done print servers before and a number of trendnet products.
from www.amazon.com
not only does the documentation stink, but trendnet tech tells you not to use it or the supplied utilities.
from www.newegg.com
i just configured a new wifi xp laptop for the same printer/server without a problem by downloading the configuration software from the trendnet site.cons: no documentation or software for linux.
from www.newegg.com
documentation from trendnet is not real clear on this point.
from payck, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: read the documentation (directions).

Linksys WIRELESS G

$78.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
as others have noted, the main drawback of the linksys print server is the documentation.
from www.amazon.com
so new, in fact, that the linksys website has almost no documentation of this device.
from www.amazon.com
the instruction manual is actually on the provided cd so the only written documentation is the "quick installation" guide.
from mastephens69, www.shopping.com
pros: none cons: poor documentation hit or miss functionality ineffective customer support the bottom line: do not buy.
from kirje, www.newegg.com
in the case of multiple pcs trying to print at once, each cons: documentation is weak, and the web configuration is flawed.
