Netgear USB Mini Print Server (PS121) – Customer Reviews
Works great with HP V40xi all-in-one.
-
I had no trouble installing the print server, it was very easy. I was happy to see that it worked with my all-in-one whereas many print servers will not.

Mac Owners, Look Elsewhere
-
I purchased this print server only to end up returning it because it was too much of a hassle to make it work on my all-Macintosh network. Although technically it *is* Mac compatible, it requires the use of a Windows computer for the initial setup, which in my book might as well be Mac incompatible. I replaced this with the similar USB 2.0 print server from Buffalo Technologies and I was up and running (using OS X Tiger, Rendezvous and AppleTalk) within 15 minutes of receiving the Amazon package at my front door. PS: Netgear elects NOT to include an Ethernet cable in the box whereas Buffalo not only includes one, but it's a super-slick, long and ultra flat Ethernet cable, all for about the same price as the Netgear.

Yahoooo!!!!! MFC 210C USB Printer Wireless
-
This is a great product. I am able to make my Brother MFC-210C USB printer wireless. The setup is really simple. Upgrade the Firmware from netgear website before installation.

Works well but need to understand networks for installation
-
It works well with my printer - A Brother HL-5140.
The installation was simple enough if you understand network terminology like IP addresses, subnet masks and default gateways (or at least know how to look these up on your computer). I think some of the installation problems are caused by people who struggle with this stuff. I'm technical so it was no problem but Netgear really should make this easier to install.8/20/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Relatively Easy and Painless Installaion
-
I stumbled upon this device when my old inkjet printer finally gave out and I decided to install a new HP PSC-750 printer that my dad had picked up.
The setup for both my PC's were relatively painless and was done in a matter of minutes.My only hiccup was I had to set up my new printer at the same time and missed a few things (not NetGear's fault).
Reading the reviews, I guess others have had issues so hopefully I will not see them.Also, I guess I am lucky, my printer appears to be compatible with the print server.
For now, I recommend this product....:)8/14/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
