Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys PSUS4 PrintServer for USB with 4 Port Switch
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work (2 units tried) with HP Laserjet 1020
Summary: 1 Stars
Like others I'm generally a fan of LinkSys products, but this isn't one of them.
Couldn't get the automated install to find the printer. I'm using a Dell Laptop with Windows XP. Also tried my desktop. Also tried Safe Mode with Networking. Disabling Firewalls and Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware (good thing I'm behind a hardware firewall). Tried bypassing the router with a direct cable connection. Tried replacing the cable. Returned the first unit and tried a second. Same story. All the lights on the unit say everything is fine but it simply isn't discoverable via the network.
By the way, Linksys Technical support was perfectly reasonable. One time I almost immediately got a person, the other time I waited I while, but both times they were courteous and helpful if a little distracted.
p.s. the fact that the unit doesn't include a mac address on the label is pretty stupid. you'd be able to do low-level network testing using that.
Digital camera Review: Don't Forget!
Summary: 5 Stars
Setup was easy and installation a snap. Just don't forget to turn the "print offline" function off in the printer toolbar. This commonly happens during a printer install.
I'm running Windows xp on the desktop and Windows Vista on the laptop.
My printer is an HP all-in-one 1510.
Digital camera Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I regret buying this product. The print server is remarkably unstable. It works for a while, but if you ever turn your printer off, it can take hours to fiddle with the print server to get it working again.
Technical support is weak at best and the documentation, both what is given to you in the box and what is available on the linksys site, is very poor.
I would recommend that instead of buying this unreliable device, tat you consider a network printer instead.
Digital camera Review: Don't buy the PSUS4
Summary: 1 Stars
I've a PSUS4 for over two years now. I'm awaiting the return of a forth replacement unit from Linksys. They stream my LAN and kill connections. Linksys tried to claim the warranty was one year even though the .PDF on their web site states three years. When I cross shipped the last return, they charged my credit card early and then took forever to refund the money. Now, they claim the unit is on back order for over six weeks already. This is the last Linksys component in my LAN. I've replaced every other device with other brands. Linksys stinks!Digital camera Review: Dont Buy It

Does not work with HP7350 Inkjets. Tech support will tell you to return it. From other posts seems to have problems with USB printers.
