Digital camera reviews of Belkin F1UP0001 Wireless USB Print Server
Digital camera Review: Works great but....no WPA
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this Print Server mainly due to the fact that it supports Wireless G and Canon printers (I have the i860). Initially had some problems with the Canon Status Monitor giving me a BSOD but soon as I turned it off, no more BSOD. The only complaint I have with this is that it doesn't support WPA, at least for now. It only supports 64/128 bit WEP but my network is WPA. It also support my printers function to turn on/off automatically so I don't have to remember to turn on the printer if someone on my network needs to print a document. Hopefully Belkin will have a firmware upgrade to support WPA soon. Right now I'm using it on ethernet and it works great.Digital camera Review: Works with MacOS X
Summary: 5 Stars
I was reluctant to purchase this because it did not state it was compatible with MacOS or MacOS X, but I went ahead and purchased it anywas, as it was the cheapest wireless print server with USB I found at the time.
To my surprise it works. I am using it with a Samsung ML-1710 "winprinter" without a problem on both Windows XP and MacOS X, on neither of the systems did I use any of the Belkin software, I simply setup the printer with an LPR port, USB port one is "lp1" and USB port two is "lp2" (both without the quotes) for anyone who is struggling to setup this print server.
I have noticed that most, if not all print servers, try to make setup too easy that they do not disclose too much information. Most print servers support LPR which is built into Windows, OS X and Linux, but to find the port names is almost impossible!
