Pros:
This is so easy to setup and it works.
Cons:
None yet.
Summary:
This was easy to configure, I had it up and running in less than half an hour including unpackaging and rerouting the cables from the back of my PC to the print box and finding and running a network cable. I also had to change the IP address on the wireless laptop to configure he print box. This is a nice product.

Pros:
It works, even with unsupported printers ie. Brother MFC-4450 and HP scaner-copy printers.
Cons:
You have to take the printer to every computer to install it, fun when you have many PC's.
Summary:
It works very well, and setup is easy if you know what you are doing. If not tech support is good if it's a supported printer. Install the printer (or both of them if you have several like I do) on every computer. Set up the ports with the port name, and then edit the IP on the port setup later. XP setup makes port and IP the same and if you use the IP you can only set up one port! Bad if you have several printers. Don't try to change the port on a shared printer on another machine because it will still need to use the spooler from the computer that you had the printers connected to! Even though the print server is working when that computer is on, it will have a spooler failure if the old printer computer if turned off. Install the printers on all machines.

Pros:
Easy set up. Both my Nec laser and Hp Deskjet work perfectly over the network. Great product!
Cons:
Installation problem
Summary:
I did have a problem with the installation wizard being confused with both printers having the same ip address. As mentioned previously, I put in a different ip address in the wizard and corrected it in the printer properties later. The second printer worked perfectly.

Pros:
Very easy setup and user interface, and it WORKS!
Cons:
None that I have encountered do far.
Summary:
I bought this because I needed the parallel port for my old Epson Action Laser 1500 printer and a USB port for my new HP All-in-One color inkjet printer. I previously had an Intel print server, but it was several years old and had functionality issues with Windows XP. I've had this D-link print server now for a couple of months now, and I have been extremely pleased with the purchase. It's very user friendly, very easy to set up, and I haven't had any problems getting either of my two printers to work from any of the three computers in my house.

Easy to setup
Cons:
nothing I can think of
Summary:
Lowest price for what I needed, easy to setup, I have four computers 2 with Win XP, one Win 98 and one Win ME, all were setup easily, two computers thru ethernet, and two via a wireless access point. Highly recommended.
