Summary: Works with Canon I850 and Windows XP
Review: ... This product works with a Canon I850 and Windows XP in Ethernet mode. The wireless option was not tested. The documentation for setup and configuration is inadequate. If you are using this product with a Canon I850 and Windows XP I have the following suggestions for installation: 1. Throw out the Linksys quick start guide.
2. Attach the I850 directly to your computer and install the Canon print driver.
3. Install the Linksys "Bi-Admin" utility from the Linksys startup CD using the autorun installation.
4. Attach printer to print server, attach print server to network, power up print server, turn printer off and then on again.
5. You should have a DHCP server on your network to assign an address to the print server. Otherwise, the print server will use the default failed dhcp address.
6. Using the "Bi-Admin" configuration utility, configure the printserver with a fixed IP address from your local network. Save the configuration.
7. Recycle power on the print server.
8. Recycle power on the printer.
5. Install an "IPP" client from the Linksys install CD. (E:\DRIVER\IPP\IPPCLIENT).
6. Complete installation instructions from pages 35 to 39 of the Linksys user guide.
7. The printer can now be accessed remotely. Notes: This USB print server works with the Canon I850 but it slows down the performance of the printer. This has little impact on plain text printing but it is very noticeable on photo printing. The extra flexibility of a network print server was worth the speed tradeoff. There are few choices for USB print servers with a wireless option. This is the best one available.

Summary: Supposed to work with 'virtually all' USB printers...
Review: ... At least that's what the box says. However my Brother 1440 laser printer must not be in this elite group. I am extremely frustrated and have wasted countless hours trying to get this thing to work, all to no avail. And Linksys's tech support was poor: They blindly recommended I reinstall all my networking protocols. Obviously this is not the problem because everything else on my network works just fine. So what I have on my hands is a rather costly lemon that I can't return because I played around with for more than 30 day return deadline trying to get it to work. From now on I'm buying computer items from physical stores where I can return them easily, and if they don't work right off the bat I won't tinker around with them, I will just return right away and move on.

Summary: Works with virtually all USB, network-ready printers, NOT!
Review: After several successful experiences with Linksys products, they finally stung me. This product is advertised as compatible with virtually all USB, network ready printers. Well, not so the HP 7350. It would be very helpful if a printer compatibility list were available. BUYER BEWARE!

Summary: I should have listened to the other comments!
Review: As many have said, this product is not your standard plug 'n' play and Linksys support sucks. You would think they could answer a simple question like "Is this print server compatible with an Epson CX5200?", but obviously not. I spent many hours and much frustration trying to get this to work but to no avail. I guess the krux of the matter is, don't try using a print server on a combo printer. I'm returning mine and I guess I'll stick to a standard printer connection. In fairness to Linksys, I will say that all other Linksys products I've bought have been easy to configure and worked great.

Summary: Won't work with HP Photosmart
Review: Despite claim in specs, after an hour on the phone with (very competent, by the way) Linksys tech support, they determined it is NOT compatible with HP Photosmart 7350 inkjet printer (from Win 2000 or XP). They had it on an "alert" list, and wish they just would have told me up front. Unfortunately, I can't find any compatible USB printer server for Ethernet, except for one from HP that is as expensive as the printer itself! For now, can use an XP set up to share printing on the network (altho it is typical unstable Windows environment--often needs fixing, and the XP must always active of course).

Summary: Great Support.......
Review: Does it work? No.
But the reason why is what bugs me. I connected wirelessly with my router, no problem. The print server even reocognized that it was connected to an Epson printer. But in the end, it turns out that my Epson 925 is NOT compatible, something to do with the "spooling". I'm going to try Epson's tech support. Linksys' support was very good. It seems that configuring printservers is a bit more on the technical side than other wireless setups.

Summary: Poor Documentation
Review: I attempted to install the print server per the provided instructions. When I attempted to add the PCMCIA card, I did not get the indications stated. I called Linksys customer service. After wading through their call screening process twice, I finally reached a support technician. This process took about 20 minutes. I then had to repeat the entire process a third time because I could not understand the technician due to a heavy accent. I could understand the second technician that I talked to. I was given instructions by that technician that did not agree with the printed version. Those directions worked and the unit began functioning. Actually it was linked before that. I just was not aware of it. The instructions stated the WLAN light should be on. It is never on steady, it only flashes periodically. The last step of the instructions for the PCMCIA card was to unplug the eithernet plug. This has to be done before the WLAN light will begin blinking. Bottom line, the unit has worked fine for me once it was installed. The printed instructions and customer support leave a lot to be desired. In the case of the PCMCIA card they are flatly incorrect.

Summary: Some problems, but got it working...
Review: I got it working with a HP DeskJet 5550 within 1 hour... the primary problem I ran into was when trying to install the print driver using the linksys software. When I went so far as to get a port installed onto the system, then ran the HP driver install using the port that was created for the printer, it worked.

Summary: Reliable Linksys
Review: I have all Linksys equipment and I have never had it go bad or get a 'defective' unit. As long as you meet the requirements and have the other required equipment, I have never had a Linksys unit fail. I currently own 5 Linksys networking products and would recomend them to anybody.
