What customers say
This print server offers excellent value by extending the life of older USB printers, transforming them into reliable network resources once operational. Customers highly value the compact design and cost savings achieved. However, the dominant theme is installation difficulty. Setup is frequently challenging, non-intuitive, and requires significant technical troubleshooting, especially with modern operating systems like Windows 10/11 and macOS. Furthermore, compatibility is limited; the device typically supports only printing functions, excluding scanning or faxing from multifunction units. While the resulting utility is great, the steep initial learning curve significantly detracts from the overall user experience.
