Edimax PS-1206MF 1 Port USB print server for All-in-1 Multifunctional Priner

from: Edimax

September 06, 2007
This very small and compact unit works well. It was easy to physically set up. The software loaded perfectly and the (fairly) easy-to-follow installation program did the business nicely. I checked their website first to ensure that my multi-function printer/scanner would work and it was fine! I can now scan and print easily and effectively from three different computers and laptops in my household. Unlike some previous reviewers, I have not found any issues with slow response for printing or scanning. The bi-directional print communications between the printer and the computer does take a few seconds to engage, so the print job might well start before the PC can detect how much ink is left etc. This is not a problem!

Poor signal, frequent disconnections. It even disables itself every 15 minutes. It's as if it was designed to be a poor product rather than it happening by chance.

Avoid potential misery. Use something else, ANYTHING else.

Shockingly bad product.

The blunt truth is that this is marketed as a backup device, yet it fails randomly.

I'll let you come to your own conclusion about this contradiction in purpose and actual function.

Belkin F1UP0002UK Wireless G All-In-One Print Server

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Network and Connectivity
from: Belkin Components


Well, looking at the other negative reviews, I hate to be a killjoy but mine seems to work on my small home network of a laptop, two PCs and now a wireless printer!!
I'm not a newbie and also not an expert by any means (the best description of me would be a grumpy 60 yo with little patience). I will say, like a lot of computer equipment, the instructions could certainly be clearer and not assume any prior knowledge of the subject. I had a problem when loading the Print Server drivers to a second PC as they were rejected as "Unsigned" and promptly made the PC hang. I had to uninstall in Safe Mode but the second install worked.
Yes, only 1 user at a time can be "logged on" to the Printer and the default position is that one is disconnected from ... Read More:

Belkin 2x1 USB Peripheral Switch - USB peripheral sharing switch - 2 ports - USB

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Network and Connectivity
from: Belkin Components


Remember those bulky boxes with clunky switches from the 80's?

Well, this handy, easy to use device is the modern equivalent. I set it up in less than 5 minutes. Both my PC's can now print from the same printer... Great!

The 'virtual' switch is operated from the desktop of the PC you wish to print from.

5 Stars.
