NetGear PS121

from www.pricegrabber.com
when it asked for the driver, i didn't find it at first (but i think i was just not seeing it), so i selected "have disk" and then opened up a separate search window to find the path of the existing
from www.amazon.com
it really was as easy as plugging it in to the network and putting the installation disk into the server.
from www.amazon.com
it will ask which printer to use, if windows does not have built in printer, use the "have disk" option and point to the driver location on cdrom or local computer.
from Jim from Boca Raton, FL, www.circuitcity.com
hp offers a corporate 'network driver' to give the 5610 network compatibility (since the drivers on the install disk are strickly usb for a local printer).
from www.overstock.com
wish there was a disk included, glad there were cables though.

hard time with the initial setup, but after its up and running, it works nicely.before you install the product, make sure you install the complete disk of the printer you are putting on the network.

although i've never installed a print-server before, the lynksis installation disk made this installation a breeze.i didn't notice, until after i purchased the printserver, that my cannon mp530
from dumbfireman, www.newegg.com

Linksys Wireless-G WPS54G

$105.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.circuitcity.com
very easy to follow install disk.
from bvrev.compusa.com
i tried setup without following the instructions and without using the disk that they say to use to set up.
from www.amazon.com
i also used the setup disk to set up my other three computers on my wirelss/hardwired network, so that can all print wirelessly.
from www.amazon.com
anyway, you can use wpa encryption, but you have to manually configure the print server using the web-based utility rather than the setup disk.
from www.amazon.com
i just ran the setup disk to configure the server, then ran the disk to configure the three computers.

$47.00 Est. at Amazon

from Graham from Phoenix, clickfrom.buy.com
the install disk was rather useless to me, so going it the manual route worked.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
you can do that by using the utility that came with the disk and running the wizard to set up the ip.
from www.newegg.com
pros: setup, used a "fixed" ip, and then ran the setup disk on client computers running windows 2000 & windows xp, works great so far, fast.cons: none yet.

Trendware Trendnet TE100-MP2U 2-Port 10/100Mbps

$78.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
overall, i recommend this print server if you have 2 usb multifunction printers or one multifunction printer and a usb disk that you want accessible on your network.
from www.amazon.com
the response i got was a one line answer to change a setting used when connecting to a disk drive; i was using this for a printer, so this response was useless to me.

from A Customer from Woodstock, IL, clickfrom.buy.com
i was unable to set up a driver for the print server on the old desktop despite having my printer installation disk.
from www.newegg.com
one xp pro machine required the original hp setup disk to be inserted, but it got only the printer driver off the disk and i wasn't required to install all the hp bloatware.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: for the r800, you need to download the drivers from epson, do not use the install disk.
from www.amazon.com
i didn't need the installation disk.
from www.amazon.com
just follow the instructions, use the provided disk, and everything worked first time!

Linksys PSUS4

from Roger from Clifton, VA, clickfrom.buy.com
option, select the linksys print server port as the port the printer is attached to and then use the "have disk" option to manually install the printer driver from the cd supplied with your printer.
from www.amazon.com
it might be the way the software automatically loads from the cd - but i was getting errors, until i reinstalled it manually from the disk.
from www.newegg.com
for the mac, go to print&fax, add a printer, enter the ip address, enter “lp” for queue and for print using select the correct printer driver (either built in or installed from the disk that came
from Veteran, www.newegg.com
i set up networks and this is one of the easiest things to do, just pop in the software and let it go, if you dont have the disk just remote into it and run it from there.
from www.amazon.com
for that machine i had to locate the driver on disk.

NetGear WGPS606 WGPS606NA

$67.00 Est. at Amazon

from Arlie from San Francisco, CA, www.circuitcity.com
do not loose the setup disk - if you buy a new computer you will need it.
from Lewis Edge from Princeton, NJ USA, clickfrom.buy.com
the included configuration disk works okay for setting the ip address of this device, but that's about it.
from www.amazon.com
lastly, configuring the printer was a breeze with the supplied disk.
from www.newegg.com
cd that comes with unit is not very helpful - netgear support would rather install manually, and avoid using the disk - does that tell you anything.
from adder1975, www.newegg.com
pros: great range, low price easy to hook up with the disk cons: follow instructions with cd, or else it will not work.
