Some problems, yet up and running in approx. 30 minutes
By D. Castle
While I had some problems setting up (my first wireless device added to my router. Forgot I SSID broadcast turned off (oops!)). I also couldn't get the "wizard" to recognize the server. I called tech support (excellent) and they had me running in a few minutes. Actually fairly painless considering some of the other print server review/horror stories I've read. Gets a 4 mainly for not recommending you hard wire to computer first, then go wireless. Possibly would have saved the call to tech support. Also, my print driver monitoring of ink levels is no more. I have also read other reviews of print servers that suggest they slow printing. I printed a 20meg photo of my daughter as a trial. I would never know the printer wasn't plugged into my machine! Took seconds to start, and the same time to print as when direct connected. Overall, well worth the price (and considering what I've seen this listed for, it's a great price!)

Great PRINT server.
By Haroldo Oliveira
I have at home 1 wireless laptop, 2 Windows desktops, and 1 Linux box. I always had problem trying to share my printer (connected to a WinXP) with the Linux... so I decided to go with a Wireless Print Server, since I wanted to leave the printer far away from my boxes. Well... after a lot of research, I found this model the best one. Some people complain about not being able to use the scanner, or fax... well... This is a PRINT server, so I wouldn't try to plug a MULTI FUNCTION printer on it.The Epson R300 - my printer - has some special features, such as a great quality photo printing, and CD printing... everything is working just like it was before when connected to the PC.INSTALATION:===========If you follow the FAST GUIDE, there is no chance to do anything wrong. It's easy, and I printed the first page within 2 minutes or so.TIP:====When installed, the Print Server will connect to your router using the DHCP. I suggest you change the IP to a static one, this way you will never have to reconf the PCs.LINUX:======When doing my research I didn't find anything saying that this Print Server could be used with Linux... but as far it's a NETWORK server, I decided to take my chances.It was easier than I though. I use Mandriva Linux, and I just asked it to look for a Network printer... It found the print server imediatelly. It didn't recognize the model of my printer, but I just selected from a List (Epson R300) and it worked right on the spot. (didn't take more than 1 minute to do that).THINGS THAT NOBODY TOLD ME:===========================After installed, I decided to access the Print Server through a browser by typing http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx on my browser (where 192.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the print server) - It worked!!! Belkin put together a really cool WEB BASED interface where you can check the status of the printers, IPs, etc... Even better, you can setup a FTP printing system... for those who don't know, it's a FTP service that whatever you PUT in is printed immediately... very useful when you want to print from outside of the Network. Just create the FTP service, forward the a port of your router to the Print Server, and you can FTP any document from anywhere in the world and get it printed on your Printer.PROBLEM:========The only thing I noticed is not working anymore is the level of the INK on the printer, that I used to be informed through a graphic interface on my Windows XP... now, it does not show anything anymore... but since I use a BULK anyway, I can always just take a look on the level so for me that's not a big deal.GREAT PRODUCT.I hope you like my review! :)

By Peter Lega
I spent lots of time with old ethernet/parallel print servers that wouldn't quite work with GDI and other low cost printers.I was skeptical that this would work.
I was impressed that this print server worked with an easy 5 minute guided setup on my Minolta 1250W GDI printer.The range of the wireless (Im using B, not G) is fine (covers whole floor of large home).
This device is an excellent solution for putting 2 USB printers anywhere you want them without dealing with the 16ft limitation of USB, or having to run any ethernet or parallel wires.
(I don't have to cut and run any wires in my new home). Plusyou get added bonus of having a normal cheap ($100~) printerbecome a networked printer for all to share. (and you don'thave to have the original host computer on to print, as youwould with USB.)
