 so easy to setup and works great June 26, 2006

I purchased this product for a friend who had purchased a brand new laptop with no parallel port on it. She has an HP Color LaserJet 4500 that is a great printer that gets services regularly and did not want to stop using it. Everyone at CompUSA was telling her to buy a new printer. This printer brand new was $3000 and is a work horse. I found the D-Link parallel print server and bought it to hook this printer up to her existing home/office wireless network. It was easy to setup and I had it connected and printing in 5 minutes on 2 laptops. I recommend this product to anyone that loves their old printer and doesn't want to buy new. I would purchase this product again.

Print server was cheap and it lets you setup multiple printers. ** NOTE: If you have a All-In-One printer that includes a scanner, this unit is not capable of sending data back from the printer to the computer. Installation was easy once I read and followed the instructions. My HP LaserJet 1100 works perfectly with this server. All my computers are able to print directly to the printer now (XP, Win2K, WinME). I've been using it a year without a single problem. In fact, I'm buying another one of these to give to my dad as a Christmas present!!
Great Print Server - Need more Instructions December 26, 2005

I thought I would give my two cents about this print server. I am using a canon S750 and an Epson Stylus C64 and both work great with the print server. The only problem I had was getting both printers to work. I could get one printer to work following there directions, but could not find directions on how to setup two of them. I was on hold with tech support forever, but never got through to anyone (it was the day after christmas so cannot blame them for being busy) Well as I was waiting I started to play around with it. I finally figured out how to get it to work basically using the same instructions they said, but more in depth. So I am going to write here what I did to help out anyone else who is having problems. This way works for Windows XP
Click on start - settings - printer and faxes.
Click on add new printer
Select local printer - uncheck automatically detect printer
click create new port - choose standard tcp/ip port
Hit next a few times until you get to a screen that asks for printer port name or address. in the top box type in the IP address (192.168.0.10) Then click on the second box and right after the ip put in your port name that you want to use. For example mine was PS-B419A6-U3 So the second box should look like 192.168.0.10PS-B419A6-U3 then click next and then you can go back and follow the instructions about clicking on custom and then changing it to a lpr and putting in the port name in the queue and so forth and it should then work. So I hope I could help some of you out.
Other then the install being a pain the unit works great and I have plans to use the second parallel port on it for a cd printer just need to get a cable.
Great alternative - with one hitch December 29, 2006

My office bought the DP-300U to replace the Netgear PS-101 we previously used to share a central printer on a network of about 7 computers. The PS-101 had a variety of problems, including a tendency to freeze if more than 2 documents queued (requiring a reset of the printer and print server).
Contrary to other reviewers' experiences, I had almost no problem setting up the DP-300U. I followed the directions in the quick installation guide (changing the IP address of one computer so it can connect to the DP-300U's default address; using the web-browser based setup system to change the DP-300U's IP address to match our network; adding the printer on each computer), and was able to get everyone connected.
The ONLY hitch was: the diagram on page 2 of the quick installation guide is incorrect. The parallel port closest to the power plug is actually (at least on my unit) Parallel Port 2, not Parallel Port 1. Since this changes the port name you must use when adding the printer to computers (e.g. from PS-ADF399-P1 to PS-ADF399-P2), I could not print until I sorted that out.
All in all, though, an excellent product.
Nothing wrong with this product October 8, 2004

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 home-networking.
I plugged this little jewel into my wireless access point slash 4 port router, connected all my printers, and now I can access any one of my three printers from any computer in my wireless network. Sweet!
Try it, you'll like it...
Take Care,
