What Customers Say About Linksys by Cisco PSUS4 PrintServer for USB with 4 Port Switch:

They even provide a USB cable. Mine is running cool as a cucumber. The device configuration is straightforward - you set DHCP on/off, set an IP address, subnet mask, etc. Configuring the printer on Vista was challenging, but with some Googling, I was able to find a solution. After reading reviews about this product, I was a little skeptical about how well it would work.

is pretty lame. You'll get an error, but no indication why.but that will be made obvious once you wander over to the printer :-).I dinged a star because it was difficult to find information on using this with Windows Vista. Windows XP is really long in the tooth now, so saying it supports Windows ME, XP, etc. Change account/password, give device another name if desired.done.

You actually don't need to use their software to do this - it can all be done from the configuration web page.I've read reviews that said the device ran very hot. However, given the prospect of being able to turn a PC off, I was willing to give it a try.The setup of the device itself was easy. This wasn't a surprise. The short version is on Vista, you need to configure it as a locally attached printer (this is counterintuitive) but specify an IP port. I found out that you don't need the Linksys software for that either. You just need the printer driver software for your printer.

I can live with this.this inconvenience is overshadowed by the fact that I was able to turn the PC my printer was originally connected to off. It is easily tucked away to the side.The difficulty came in with setting up the printers on my various PCs.

All you lose with no bi-directional support are ink status messages, paper jam messages, paper out messages, etc. They should update their documentation with instructions for configuring printers on Vista/Windows 7.

My printer is a Canon IP4600. Since it has a built in switch, I didn't have to run more CAT-5, I just plugged what I had in and connected the provided cable between the PC and the switch.

At some point you enter the IP address and in the end, you have a working printer.The only bummer is that I can't get bi-directional to work. This was pretty straighforward on Windows XP.

if appropriate. The case is made from sturdy metal and is rather small.

It's back in the box waiting for some less tech challenged user to find. I got mine on Ebay thinking I was going to improve my life and eliminate trips up the stairs, share the printer between pc users. I will now smile as I take those trips. This was expensive, but a lesson that trying to avoid trips up/down the stairs brings on more difficulty. After an error fraught installation, it worked once or twice for printing and never for scanning. I tried to reinstall w/ same results.

Connected the device up to the printer, network and PC's. (It would have been shorter, but I had to get another cold beer).Con's: (ok just to have a con) drivers have to be installed on any node(PC) wishing to access the network printer. This device was in installed in a SOHO (6 PC's, and 1 USB Printer). Installed the software and was printing within 30 minutes. But the installation is quick and easy. The extra ports came in handy. Pro's: The device works as advertised.

I had to pay a professional to come hook it up because I could not figure it out just to find out it wasnt compatable. User refused to refund my money and let me return product. I have received no commet from the buy after send info about wanting to return product. Item needed to be more specific. Item had piece moving in it and was not compatiable with my Lexmark.

I'm only taking the time to write this because I have used this now for over a year with no real issues using multiple wireless and wired computers in my house with family and friends. Whenever I cancel a print job on either MacOS or WIN, I need to reset the print server to get going again (a simple unplug then plug or press the reset button). Once properly setup, configured and tested it works great with one exception.

Setup with MacOS printer setup utility, I ended up with name, 192.168.15.78 , and location, Location Unknown. You need to be alert and aware to configure this to use on the network with multiple computers both wired and wireless. Hello, Yes, this works great.

This is not a plug and play (I don't know if any are). Have fun, it's worth it. Setup with windows XP pro and Vista, I don't remember as I'm not a windows guy, but the linksys site tells you how.

To work smooth with my linksys router, I had to call linksys and find the tech sheets on their website to assign the print server a static IP address.
