What customers say
This print server offers excellent value and reliability for users willing to invest significant effort into setup. Satisfied customers praise its stable, set it and forget it performance, which successfully extends the life of older printers on a network. However, the primary drawback is the difficult installation process. Many users report frustration with outdated configuration tools and integration challenges, especially with modern operating systems. While the hardware itself is durable, achieving consistent functionality requires considerable technical skill. It is best suited for technically proficient individuals focused solely on basic network printing from legacy equipment.
