Summary: Works great
Review: Setting up the print server requires actually reading the manual, and subsequent driver installs on new machines require a few steps, but the product works great and is very convenient for home use. No problems so far with a new Canon i560.

Summary: Easy to install, works great
Review: Since there were no reviews for the NetGear PS101 and reviews for the other vendor's offerings were fairly negative with a lot of pitfalls encountered, I expected to have some problems when I started. However, within an hour of opening the box, I had the print server up and running on 4 PCs, 3 with XP, 1 with Win/98. It works much faster than sharing the printer off a "server" PC, and print quality isn't impacted at all. The documentation is fairly clear and complete, although somewhat misleading where it talks about what port to use due to the use of bold versus normal font. The adiministration screens are OK, could be much better, and I can't figure out how to upgrade the firmware if I ever decide to do so.Be careful on PCs with the printer already defined as remote to the "server" pc. Windows wants to configure the printer as another remote one and not as a "local" one. Going into the Windows define printer screens directly or first deleting the remote definition resolves this issue. If you're using a firewall (like Zone Alarm), make sure you allow access or nothing will work.

Summary: PS101
Review: The print server was relatively easy to setup. Just make sure that the default IP address for the print server does not conflict with any other IP addresses on your network. Also, make sure to turn off the firewall on XP. I am using it on a network which has machines running Windows 98SE, ME and XP. It works well with all of the machines after resolving the issues above. Of course, I had to figure this out on my own since the documentation did not discuss these issues.

Review: this thing works like a charm as long as you remember to turn the XP firewall off ... i've spent about an hour playing with it without any success until i noticed that one of the reviews below mentions the issue with the XP firewall ... after that got straighten out, the rest of the installation took less than 5 minutes.

Summary: Worked for one week, support worthless.
Review: Two links into Netgear's support page for this thing, you'll find this: "The Print Server Buffer, is only 64K, so large print jobs are nearly always not executed correctly or at all." For me, this piece of junk worked for one week. I guess it worked because I only tried to print some one and two page documents that week. Then I printed a 30 page pdf document. It stopped printing after 25 pages and has never worked again. I can't count how many hours I've spent on the phone with Netgear support people in India who don't know any more than I do. According to Clinton Miller's five-star review, I might be able to make this thing work again if I "have access to a web forum or have some understanding of TCP/IP protocol." Very disappointing product.

Summary: Limited usage
Review: Very disappointed with the product. It does not seem to be completely compatible with XP. The item works, but I have to disable my firewall in order to print. It was also a pain to set up with NetGear's software wizards. My computer would not recognize the print server and I had to set the IP address manually. Given that I am using it with a NetGear Router, I though this was ridiculous. Also it is really a pain to have to continually disable the firewall to print anything, and it does not handle large print jobs (buffer is inadequate).

Summary: Great product for attaching printer to wireless network.
Review: We used this item on our Minolta Color Laser without incident. We have 3 Laptops/PC's sharing the same printer without any serious wireless network configuration. It's very much like printing locally, once the local drivers are set up (much easier than it sounds - primarily point and click through the installation program). The item works seamlessly with our Linksys 802.11g (54g) wireless network - which is a great succes story in and of itself. Great product but each printer requires one, unless you go to the multiples - with which I have had no experience. This entire situation is a great improvement over our wired DI-704P 10/100 system.
