Know how to set up a print server before buying this print server.

A good little print server. The bad thing is the setup doesn't work. I had to go out and root around on the internet to find out how to set it up in Windows 8.1. Once I got pass that it works OK except that it pauses at the end of the last page to be printed for about 2-3 minutes then finishes. Still it was cheaper than having two printers.

Works great. Easy setup. Know your printer before you buy!

The DP-301U works great. Setup is easy. If you know a little networking and know a little about printers and print servers it helps.Network setup is a breeze. You don't need the set up disk, just follow the Quick Installation Guide. If you want the extras, then load the disk.I used the DP301U to connect a Brother MFC-7220 fax/copy/printer to the network. I configured the DP301U. Loaded the Brother driver on a server. Configured the port to be TCP/IP type and gave the DP301U's IP address. It works perfectly.Some folks complain about compatibility. If you check the compatibility list and check to see whether your printer is a PCL/PJL, or a GDI type printer, you won't have problems and wont turn into a hater. As with many non-HP print servers, the DP301U is not GDI compatible. If you have an HP GDI printer, you need to get one of HP's GDI print servers. If your printer is not on the compatibility list, there's still a good chance your printer will work as long as it's not a GDI type.Don't hate the DP301U if you don't know anything about GDI, or you didn't do your homework when it comes to the type of printer you have.Check the compatibility list on D-Link's web site.

Didn't Work

I have lots of experience with computers and networking, but could not get this print server to work. Tech support finally told me it wasn't compatible with my printer. I finally got my printer networked by installing the driver on my Windows Home Server (WHS) and connecting the printer, via USB, to it. I had read that it's best not to install software and drivers on the WHS, which is why I ordered this print server. Then, I figured that since WHS is based on Server 2003, it shouldn't hurt anything. No problems after 2 + months. Another option is to connect your printer to a computer, share it, and leave that computer on when you may be printing. A lot cheaper, more reliable, and fewer headaches.

Where Did My Doc Go?

Easy setup but the little beast is really slow. Some print requests never were completed.Terry

Good enough for most, except HP, printers

The unit was relatively easy to easy to install for me. I am technically competent to a fair extent. I was disappointed that it could not connect with a 3 year old model, HP Officejet AIO printer. HP seems to insist that I use HP's own product, Jetdirect unit costing twice as much! :(

Excellent Printer Server for Cheap Prices

I once bought a Netgear Print Server about 2yrs ago and it did not work. Thought all Printer servers are the same and assuming the high-ends version are better, but out of my price range. Today (Oct 17, 2009), I saw this D-Link DP-301U at Fry's for $19.99 bought and give it another try with my Canon D320 ImageClass it works as charm. Very easy to find the Printer Server specific IP & MAC ID by looking up the via my Wireless Router. It has a built-in web browser configuration as well. It is not necessary to use the CD came with it. Recommend Reserved an IP on the router to match this printer server MAC/IP addy then attached the USB Printer into the Ethernet port, all less than 3 minutes! It is longer to install drivers to each on my PC on the network. Now this Stationary Printer becomes Wireless Printer and versatile print sharing with the network. Very impressed!! Highly Recommended for those old Printers still with USB!!!!

Works fine with my old laser printer

Bought it in 2009 for a used HP laserjet 1012 printer given to me. Works fine with that laser even though it is not on HP's compatibility guide. Since this is only laser printing -- not scanning, or color, or special functions an all-in-one might do -- it works fine for simple printing. Setup was easy since DHCP set up the IP addressing for me. But I went ahead and disabled DHCP and hardcoded the IP using the web interface. There's 2 hardware versions listed in some articles but because it has been out a while, I got h/w ver B2, f/w ver 2.10. Made my used USB-only laser printer a network print and I love that!
