Conclusion: Great little print server
Review: Terrific little product - works like a champ, easy to set up. Just don't try to call support; they don't know JACK! BTW, the specs say it works on a 10/100Mb/s, but it does NOT work at 10Mb/s, must be on a 100Mb circuit. I now have 8 of these at a client and not one has gone down in over a month. I'm buying two more today!
Evaluation:
Conclusion: No complaints
Review: I've had this product for three years, and have not had a single issue with it. The challenges I've faced were easily fixed using the utilities on the installation CD, and website. Unfortunately, my current printers only have USB ports, and I've recently retired it. But I would give it five stars for the quality, durability, and length of service that I've received.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Couldn't get it to work
Review: Never worked as I assumed it would. Windows driver program seemed like it hadn't been updated since Windows 98 or something.
Could never get it to work from Windows or as a general network printer for non-Windows machines.
I returned it and bought the D-Link DP-301+ and that device worked just as you would expect! Five stars for the D-Link! Every computer in the house can print to it and it has a web interface for configuration. Very slick.

Conclusion: PS101 work pretty well depending on hardware version.
Review: I just bought 2 Netgear PS 101 mini print servers. They have been pretty easy to setup. Since I did not want to install the supplied configuration software, I had to look at my DHCP server to figure out what the IP's were. Once logged in I changed the IPs and other settings to my liking. Worked great. I unplugged the PS101's and installed them on their respective new printers. The PS101 v2 print server was fine, but the apparently older hardware version v1 with firmware 6026 lost all of the settings. No real big hassle to reconfigure, ONCE, but I dont want to have this happen repeatedly. The newer firmware on the v2 hardware is not able to be used on v1 servers, so it appears I am stuck. Works great otherwise.
I am printing to a laser printer and dot matrix printer using the net use function in a dos window under Win2k + WinXP.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Network Printing Heaven
Review: I wanted to use an up to date wireless print server, i.e. Dlink DPR-1260. Alas my medium format HP1000c printer is too old and too expensive to replace. This is the only network parallel port print server solution I could find. Make sure you check the printer compatibility list. Set up is easy if you don't try anything fancy. I did set it up using DHCP instead of a fixed address just to see if I could do it. Yup, it worked. Never thought printing a test page could be so exciting.
