What customers say
This print server is primarily valued for its ability to extend the life of older, reliable parallel port printers, offering significant cost savings over replacement. When successfully integrated, users appreciate its stable performance for basic network printing tasks. However, the core issue revolves around setup and compatibility. Many customers report frustrating difficulties integrating the device with modern operating systems, often requiring extensive troubleshooting due to outdated software and documentation. Connectivity issues frequently arise, particularly with non PCL based printers. This product is best suited for technically proficient users comfortable managing legacy hardware challenges.
