The setup instructions are good. However, you have to first connect to its default IP address of 192.168.0.10 -- which can be a pain because most default routers are on 192.168.1.x Changing the 1 to a 0 is theoretically fine, but you will lose connectivity in the middle several times. I just bought the print server, so my experience is only for a few hours. It's working for me currently. However, I'm noticing that my laptop is losing its wireless connectivity frequently. Not sure if the print-server is the cause. However, it has never happened in the last several years that I've been using this wireless router and laptop.

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!

After several hours of trying it finally works. You must have an XP machine, it won't load on Vista. Lots of problems with printer driver on the machine that had the printer on it! Looks easy, it's not!
