What customers say
This print server elicits strong reactions, primarily centered on its challenging setup and compatibility. When successfully integrated, users value its compact size and low power use, appreciating its core function: reliably sharing one USB printer across a small network without needing a host computer. However, the installation process is frequently described as frustrating and non-intuitive. Significant issues arise with modern operating systems like current Windows and macOS versions, often requiring extensive driver searches. Furthermore, users note its limitation to basic printing, lacking support for multifunction features like scanning. While it offers a cost-effective solution for simple printing once configured, the steep learning curve and compatibility risks make it best suited for technically proficient users.
