StarTech 1-Port USB 2.0 Print Server, 10/100Mbps Auto-sensing (PM1115U2) | Wired Ethernet LAN USB Printer Server Adapter, 2.0 Network

Great product. Purchased fr use with a Brother label printer and works flawlessly.

This is many years too old for current PCs Laptops and Tablets. We bought it to connect a old USB Printer to our office network. We had to find a PC with a CD drive to install the necessary software. That PC could print although printer errors appeared before the print started. It then appeared to require the installation CD to be used on every Windows device on the network (our network has laptops with no CD drive). Without installing the software, all the other laptops could see the printer on the network but it was shown as Offline. Our IPads could not even see the printer - the AirPrint application was completely incompatible with this server. The instructions were wholly inadequate. None of the issues we had were mentioned. And it showed how old the product is E.g. compatible versions of Windows ended at Windows 7 (although it did work with Windows 10). Apple instructions were for a Mac and for a current Mac were simply wrong.

good product

Feel like I have been robbed... £58 for this tiny box... -The build quality is awful considering the price. -A standard USB cable is also NOT included!. -The cheapest mains adaptor I have ever seen!, I was suprised that it didn't break when pushed lightly into wall socket. It has different heads like a travel adaptor socket for different countries - however the 3 pin plug adaptor head is so thin! - the earth terminal pin is not connected its just a thin piece of molded plastic, bending when I pushed it into the socket. After complaining about the build quality and penny pinching - It does actually work.

We use it on a label printer. On one computer it works after the cd program installed. However, the next computer tale me a bit long to found the printer driver direct from system 32. At the end they both work.

I've had a few of these over the years and they just work. I've used them with Zebra label printers, Brother printers, etc. Just plug into the network and connect to a printer with a USB. You don't get a USB cable so you'll need one of those. Great product for printers you need to get on the network that don't have a network connection.

I bought this because my printer - HP Envy 4527 - kept falling off the wifi every time it went to sleep. I had numerous enthusiastic endorsements for the StarTech USB print server from friends who have them, so I assumed it would be a no-brainer. Sadly, it didn't work for me. I could connect to the print server, and the server confirmed that it was connected to the printer. I could also install the printer on my computer (MacBook Pro) via the print server, but whenever I tried printing, nothing happened. The print manager would say "File successfully sent to printer" but nothing would print. I followed the instructions on the StarTech support site to the letter, but it refused to print anything at all. There is a bit of confusion in the documentation, as there is a list of supported USB printers (dated 2008, so my printer is not on it) but one of the answers in the support section of the website states that it is a universal device so should work on any USB printer. At this point, it is unclear if the issue is a lack of support for MacOS beyond 10.X.X (I am on MacOS 13) or whether my specific printer is not supported. I did check for firmware updates, but my unit was running the current firmware. Regardless, I have had to return it and will need to look into a printer that natively supports Ethernet, which is annoying as they seem to be much more expensive than the USB & wifi ones.

tried every configuration - on different OS - even Apple coudn't get it to work. gave up in the end and bought an ethernet enable epson tank printer - expensive but will pay back in saved catridges and my sanity!

Debe ser bueno pero a mí no me sirvió para las impresoras

I have a simple single function low cost printer. I don't need an All-in-one function printer and I don't need to print from a smart phone or tablet. I use a Dell laptop running Windows 7 with WIFI via a N300 Netgear WIFI router. I also have a single function HP Deskjet 1000 printer without any WIFI. I don't print much but I wanted a way to print without physically attaching my printer to my laptop. This product solved that problem. Basically you plug the print server into your router and plug your printer into the print server usb port. When you load the software on the laptop you are installing a second HP driver for your printer. Your original HP Deskjet driver remains and is an option if you decide want to go back to printing through your local usb port on your laptop. The new driver formats the print job to be sent over the network either via the laptop ethernet interface or via WIFI. It works very well. All I need to do is turn my printer on and I can print from my laptop while working in another room. The only complaint is that the StarTech Quick Start guide Software Installation instructions are a bit lacking (at least for Windows 7). Connect your laptop to your router. The basic install goes as follows: 1. Insert the CD. AutoPlay opens and shows a "Run Setup.exe" option (not Networking Printer Wizard). 2. You click the Setup option and it runs a StarTech "Networking Printer Wizard" that puts a "Launch Network Printer Wizard" icon (shortcut) on your desktop. 3. You click on that Launch ... icon and it opens the Windows "Network Printer Wizard". In that window you'll see your shared network printer listed. In my case it was HP Deskjet 1000 J110 series-P05d065f6a. That is the new print driver you are installing. Highlight it and complete the steps. 4. When you print, your HP dialog box will show printer selection options (both the original and network printer). You'll have to select the network printer each time or you can make it your default printer. Go to Ctl Panel-->Hardware&Sound-->View devices&printers: Right clk the network printer and select Default. StarTech.com should be able to tell you if your particular printer is supported.

De titel zegt genoeg, meer woorden moeten hier niet aan vuil gemaakt worden

per installare i driver viene fornito un cd rom, ormai in disuso sui pc, per fortuna si possono scaricare dal sito web. Funziona bene abche con windows 11. Ora la stamoante HP la vedo sia in rete che in wifi (nativo)
