what's great about it:?the four port switch what's not so great:?it's not "n" & the antenna isn't removable "first of all, i did not buy it as a print server.
from SP from Westbury, NY, www.circuitcity.com
to an existing wireless network more specifically.even so, with some trial and error, it only took about 20 minutes to get connected.a vast improvement over using a manual wired switching mechanism.
from www.pricegrabber.com
not only a 2 port print server, but also a 4 port switch.
from www.pricegrabber.com

Trendware TEW-P1PG

$93.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.newegg.com
use their tool to set it up with a lan cable, then switch to wireless.
from network guru, www.newegg.com
1.) plug the thing into your router (home) or switch (office) using an unsupplied ethernet cable (network cable).
from www.amazon.com
if you're using an unmanaged switch to connect these to ethernet, reboot the switch first.

following assignment of static ip via wired connection and web interface, the tew-p1pg joined my wireless 802.11b network comprised of a fairly old linksys router/switch/wap.
from Scott, www.newegg.com

NetGear PS101 PS101NA

$63.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
all i had to do is run a cord from my network switch and an extension cord to the nearest outlet for the power supply.
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.newegg.com
it was making every light on my network switch blink every couple of seconds.
from www.amazon.com
recently i added a smc ez switch 108fdt that has 8 ports.
from www.amazon.com

Linksys Wireless-G WPS54GU2

$160.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
hooked up a linksys wireless router to one of the switches.
from www.amazon.com
the setup utility on cd-rom failed to save at the end so had to switch to the web-based interface - learned this from previous failed linksys product installs.
from www.amazon.com
- when i switched over to wireless mode, the printserver couldn't talk to my wireless router to get an ip address, so it defaulted to an ip that was completely bogus for my network.
from www.amazon.com
i only use the print server for printing and in order to use the printer's other functions (scanning, etc) i use a usb switch (approx $20) and connect the printer directly to the computer.
from www.amazon.com
if the print server is connected (wired) to a hub or switch, then no clients can print wirelessly.my experiences with this print server have all been with windows 2000.

from www.newegg.com
can't beat that for the price!cons: the first thing i did was to set my laptop up with it through a switch, as i didn't have my crossover cable at home.
from www.newegg.com
make sure the ip address you give your ps doesn't conflict with any others that you may already have on your network, then connect your ps to the switch or router and set your computer ip

pros: i was a little concerned because i had a rmulti-port router and a ethernet switch configured for several devices.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: a second nic would be nice so it doesnt require a switch but no biggie

Linksys PSUS4

from www.pricegrabber.com
finally a print server solution that doesn't cost $100 or more, and it even doubles as a network switch.
from www.mwave.com
also, it has a 4 port switch, so i figured i could remove the switch in my network and replace it with this if it worked.btw, for those who complain about no docs ...
from www.pricegrabber.com
switched the linksys printserver to another printer and it works fine.
from mkpuskus, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: compact size,the four port switch connected to the print server,ease of setup weaknesses: operating temperture is very warm, do not like the power cord sticking out of the side.
from www.newegg.com
it is easy to setup and combines both as a network switch and print server.

from bvrev.compusa.com
i had to make a longer network cable to reach a switch, as it only has a short one in the box.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted to print from each of my computers without having to wire all of them to the usb switch that i had been using.
from www.amazon.com
works like those usb cables where you connect a ethernet cable to extend the range with the addition of software switching so you can reconnect to several/another usb device without walking over and
from www.amazon.com
i'd used a linksys psus4 printserver for usb with 4 port switch in the past with some success and wanted to see if this less expensive option might also work.

however, the utility on the cd made it a simple task to change it to something that will work with my network and once that was done, the setup utilities made the task of switching from the print
from www.newegg.com
it sure beats the old-school method of using a mechanical parallel printer switch which i had set up between two of my machines, and on my main machine, sharing the printer using windows.
from www.newegg.com
i switched back to the windows xp firewall, and no more problems.

when you need to print hit the switch, ready to go in 5 seconds.no heat problem for me, don't print all the time, it's mostly off.
