Summary: reviews here helped me a lot
Review: I owe a lot to the people who wrote reviews here so I would like to contribute some.For me it worked flawlessly. Installation was easy for my HP LaserJet5/5M wirelessly. One of the biggiest advice here was that the explorer firewall should be deactivated. In my case, Norton Internet Firewall and Zone Alarm was giving me a little problem. So, I deactivated them, and later activated them again after the server was installed. Other than that, installation was done in no time. I believe it was the worthy investment on the server.

Summary: Wireless print servers are like a box of chocolates...
Review: I bought two of these wireless print servers (Linksys WPS54GU2) so I could print wirelessly to two printers in different locations. One is a new Canon i960 photo printer and the other is a brand-new HP Photosmart 7960 (I liked the LCD screen and picture card capability). They are both USB-only printers. Once I configured both print servers for my wireless network (they MUST be connected first via Ethernet in order to do this), I was able to print wirelessly to the Canon printer with no problem. However, I cannot say the same for the HP printer. I was unable to get either of the print servers to recognize a USB connection to it! I highly suspect the problem lies with the new HP printer since I was able to print wirelessly to an older HP printer I have, which is also USB. Based on the number of complaints I've read on the Internet regarding HP's newer Photosmart printers not being compatible with these print servers, I am going to return the new HP printer and go back to using the older HP printer since it worked fine. I heard from someone that the newer HP printers may only work with HP's high-priced wireless print servers...this is totally UNACCEPTABLE to me! Before you buy this print server for printing wirelessly, be sure the printer you want to connect to it is NOT a Photosmart printer since it will most likely not work wirelessly.

Summary: Almost ready for prime time
Review: I have a mixed environment of Mac and Windows systems and want to consolidate all on an HP all-in-one 7100 series printer. From my Windows environment, it was not clear that I had to first install my print drivers before I could make a logical connection between my defined printer and a port created for the print server. This was a problem because the only way to accomplish this was to physically attach my printer to all my Windows systems, install the drivers then reconnect my printer to the print server. From there is was easy to connect my printer to the print server port and it has worked quite well since. The real down side is that Linksys advertises that this printer supports appletalk but the company provides no assistance in getting a Mac to communicate with the print server. So far, I have been unable to get my Mac to talk with the print server. According to Linksys, it is not supported and that is all they will say or do to help.

Summary: Lacks compatibility
Review: After two weeks of trying to get this unit to work with my HP 7750 printer - without much useful help from Linksys Technical Support - it turns out that the Linksys unit is not compatible with the printer! Why doesn't Linksys make it clear on their packaging or literature that their unit does not support many higher-end printers??

Summary: Works Great
Review: I installed the wireless print server and it was working within 45 minutes when connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. I couldn't get it to work in the wireless mode so I used the online chat support via the Linksys web-site. They told me to do a power cycle and bring it back up with the ethernet cable disconnected. It worked!! The support was good and the print server is now working great. I have a new Cannon i860 connected to the USB port. Great investment.

Summary: Works well, once you get it configured correctly
Review: I've got this unit to finally print from both a WinXP and Mac OS X machine, to a parallel port HP-6L and a USB port Canon i850. It's fairly straightforward to follow the manual to print from Windows, but if you want to print from OS X, you need to specify "L2" for the USB port server, not "P2" as in Windows and the manual.

Summary: The King of Problems! Save Your Money
Review: I did try over and over again to install. The product is a failure and just doesn't work well with HP laser printer. I have tried it with Dell printer and still doesn't work. Technical support is a joke: the kid on the other end of the line just don't understand basic installation procedures and can solve nothing. Don't waste your money and time. Look for another solution.

Summary: Very unsatisfied
Review: After spending several hours trying to install a HP 4050 PS (parallel) and an HP G85 (USB), I could get the 4050 to work, but was finally told by Linksys tech support that the print server does not support the G85. I find it inconceivable that they did not design the print server to handle recent HP printer models. It would help if the website tech support simply listed printers that the server does not support, because then I would not wasted my time.

Summary: It's cool.
Review: Thanks to the review from Mark T. Erickson who mentioned to disable the firewall before install. I did that, and cruised through the install. After I had everything working I was able to enable the firewall again with no problems. I have an HP Laserjetp6 on the parallel and an HP7350 on the USB and three XP laptops on the wireless network able to print to both printers fine. I'm very happy with the product.

Summary: Great Product to Date
Review: I was reluctant to purchase the product due to the negative reviews. However the print server was more economical (for wireless printing) than other alternatives offered by HP. Since I was trying to connect two printers (HP Laserjet 2300 and HP OfficeJet D145) via the USB port I encountered some problems. I called Linksys customer service (not technical support)and requested assistance from a US based technician. A technician called back within the hour and provided the best service I received from any technical support personnel in a long while. He assisted me through the process and was extremely helpful. I had problems configuring the multifunction (D145) but a call to HP resolved that issue - for the multifunction to work I had to select another compatible printer - the HP Deskjet 900C. Initially I was told by another linksys technician that multifunction printers would not work with the print server. However, that is generally not the case. The linksys technician who asssisted me advised me to perform a simple test even before configuring the print server - connect a USB port to the print server and the printer and press the reset button on the print server, if a test page prints, then the print server will work with the printer. The only down-side is that WPA does not work with the printserver so I had to resort back to WEP. I am currently using the linksys modem, wireless g router and wireless g print server and I am happy with the performance to date. The set up may take a few minutes but with the right personnel from linksys the problems will be resolved.
