USB Print Servers
USB Print servers are a common source of complaint due to compatibility
issues with various printers. Below I have compiled
a compatibility list of many print servers using feedback from owners,
google and reports from manufacturers.
Please email
me with your experiences with a USB Print Server, especially if it's
not on the list below. There's a real lack of
information about USB print servers out there and it's obviously a mammoth
task for a manufacturer to be able to test even a small number of the
available printers. Hopefully when this page has enough data it will be
able to assist potential purchasers before they fork out the dollars and
learn any bad news.
I need to know the make and model of your printer, the make & model
of print server and whether or not it worked, kind of half-worked or whatever.

Multifunction
Printers
Be aware: Barely a day goes by where I don't hear a tale
of woe about a Print Server and a multifunction printer, so we can
count most of those out from the word go. If an MFC is networkable,
the manufacturer will give specific mention about this somewhere
and also explain how and what else it needs to be networkable. Sometimes
the printer part of an MFC can be shared using a generic printer
driver for the model, but forget about sharing scanning or fax etc.
David sent me this
link regarding Brother multifunction printers but the same principle
applies pretty much to all MFCs unless the manufacturer states they
are "network ready" or with some other similar wording.
(Bear in mind this sometimes means some other hardware or a software
license may be required to make it actually work on a network)
Alex reports another issue with some antivirus/internet
security applications: "Some like McAfee (and
CA
to a degree) have major issues with HP All in Ones. McAfee installs
a re-director that essentially kills off the AIO being able to scan
or fax across the network. USB is fine, but connecting via Ethernet
(wired or wireless) is a disaster. This means you cant use the menu
on the AIO to initiate scans and you cant use the pc to initiate
scans or faxing. CA has a work around where you have to go in and
add all the HP apps and allow them. McAfee didn’t offer that
because of the re-direction service (last used it in 2007 but believe
architecture is still the same). Had some issues with Norton 360
and a few others with this too.
|
Another one is Printer Status Monitors. These rarely work from
behind a print server (except if designed by the printer manufacturer
for that particular printer) but the printer will usually still print
fine in spite of it.
Also reader Luke reports a difficulty with Host
Based Printers and Print Servers - "I recently researched
the possibility of using a print server (USB and other), to connect my
Lexmark E210 to my network. After many hours of research I found that
it is not possible to connect the Lexmark E210 to ANY print server, as
it is a host based printer."
Update: Mark reports that Luke's info is "not quite correct.
The Draytek
Printer FAQ explained what to do (with Draytek Print Servers at
least). Anyway my E210 prints a treat. I think that to get around Luke's
problem he should first install the printer physically on a local port,
install the software then change the port to the Draytek's LPR port."

Note: Some of the links I have on the printer models below will
go to various sites where people have reviewed the product and made
a comment about compatibility with their printer. Many of these sites
are overseas retail shops and I am not trying to indicate that these
are where to buy the products. As a matter of fact I recommend that
anyone within Australia shopping for products of this nature should
stick with Australian retailers to avoid hassles with service and warranty
claims and to get the correct power pack.

Canon i865
Canon i9000 & i455: Nigel reports "Both usually
work without trouble, with the two exceptions... The i455 was
slow to the point of useless printing pictures from an old G3
400 PowerBook wirelessly. It did OK with a direct USB cable. The
i9000 sometimes stops printing 3/4 through high res A3 prints.
The printer dialogue box says 'sending data' but the printer just
sits there, stalled. Sometimes you can print it again and it will
go through fine, sometimes not. I think it may have something
to do with ink levels in the tanks, but I haven't really nailed
that one."
Canon PIXMA 4000: Mal reports "I plugged the
printer into the Airport, installed the latest PIXMA 4000 drivers
from the website, installed Apple’s Rendezvous for Windows Preview
4 and then ran the Rendezvous printer sharing wizard straight
from the desktop. The hardest part was installing the drivers
for the printer. It works perfectly fine with my P4 2.8 and my
older Athlon 1GHz box."
Canon Pixma ip4300: Brian reports no worries with the
Canon S530D with Airport Express configured as a USB print

set up the Belkin unit via the Ethernet port to start and then
installed the printers direct to the desktops (as recommended
by Belkin). Then I moved the printers to the Belkin unit and ran
the setup utility on each machine. The result is that both printers
work with all the relevant machines EXCEPT for the printer monitoring
software. For some reason, the monitors can't talk to the printers
via the print server even with bi-directional communication enabled.
The best I can see is paper out messages, but not ink levels,

Once the printers were installed locally, everything went well.
One thing not supported however is the printer status of either
printer, which is a bit of a pain."

Tip from someone who's been there and got the T-Shirt (i.e. Me!)
- Ensure you use the correct drivers - the C80 ones print gibberish

for each printer, configure ports manually using the Advanced
dialog in each case. Use LP1 for Printer 1 with 515 selected as
port number. Use LP2 for Printer 2 with 516 selected as port number.
Note that the Belkin setup app will attempt to configure both
printers (assuming you have 2) on the same port during initial
setup - at least this was the case with me. This scenario never
works. Hence the manual setup I am forced to use with each additional
PC. Other than that, the F1UP0001 is a mighty little unit for
printer independence from any particular PC. :-) One more thing,
Belkin claim that using an ethernet connection to the unit disables
the wireless capability. Not so. I have my desktop PC connected
to print via ethernet while every other machine (4x laptops) all
connect via wireless. Not sure why Belkin would claim that it
won't work when it patently does, but maybe some specific configurations
have issues?"

the test button for 10 secs or more while plugging in the power),
although you can still print (with a 1000% loss in speed) it does
not support bi-directional communication. After talking with US
Robotics, Belkin and Canon support, here is their final answer:
Uninstall the canon drivers and let windows install its own drivers.
However, windows doesn't have any so it's not really compatible
with the ip5000 unless you know of any drivers that remove all
feedback communication with the printer, or an aftermarket patch."

for reviews for more information about its capabilities before
you decide if this is the device for you. |
| Dan sent me the following extensive report for the
F5L009:
All in all, I'm pleased. It's not perfect, but it works much
more smoothly than I expected.
I have it connected to:
Samsung 1430 printer
Dell 1600n MFP (this is supposed to be a network MFP, but the network
scanning is a joke)
Iomega 33748 desktop hard drive
Canon BJC-2100
So far I've only tested it with 2 computers at once, one XP, the
other Vista.
Setup was pretty easy. There is no setup to do on the appliance
at all; just plug it in to power, your network, and some USB devices.
It gets an IP address from DHCP and detects what devices are connected
to it. Every computer that wants to use it, though, has to have
the "Hub Control Center" installed. It's a simple install that also
installs whatever shim it is that convinces Windows you have equipment
connected to a USB port when it's really on the network.
On the computer that uses the Windows built-in firewall, after the
setup program ran, I was in business. I did have to manually set
up a rule on one computer's BitDefender firewall to allow incoming
traffic from the hub. The manual was pretty clear on what needed
to be done, with step-by-step instructions for the most popular
firewalls (although not for BitDefender).
I bought this thing in order to share the above devices, so I set
the printers up to connect only when needed. That option is only
for printers, and only seems to work for printing. The external
hard drive I set to manual connect. I set the 1600n MFP to connect
only when needed, which works for the printing function, but I have
to manually connect to scan.
Compatibility with my hardware:
Samsung 1430 It works just fine with one problem. I have
it set to connect when I need the printer, and disconnect when I
don't, which works flawlessly. However, if I turn off the printer,
then later turn it back on, the hub doesn't detect that it's back,
and says the printer is "unavailable." If I unplug, then replug
the USB cable, it comes right back up.
Canon BJC-2100 It works fine, connecting and disconnecting
automatically. There is one very odd behavior. With some files,
the print job completes, but for some reason the job remains in
the queue. The most peculiar thing is that if you send other print
jobs, they will go through, ignoring the leftover job ahead of them.
So everything works fine, but if you open up the print queue, you
see this long queue of phantom jobs, which sit there until deleted.
Dell 1600n The print part works fine, but since the 1600n
comes with a print server, it's not all that useful. It is very
useful for scanning. I have to manually connect to the 1600n in
order for the scan to work, but that only requires three clicks.
And if you weren't going to share the 1600n scanner, you could just
set your computer to stay connected all the time.
Iomega 33748 Again I have to connect manually when I want
to use it, but I could choose to always be connected if I weren't
sharing it. Otherwise it seems to work fine. I haven't really tested
the speed, but it seems much quicker than USB 1.1
Sharing resources:
I haven't done much testing of this, but when I print simultaneously
to the Samsung ML-1430, the hub handles the contention nicely, automatically
connecting the first computer, and on the second computer showing
that the device is connected to another computer, then disconnecting
the first computer when that print job is done, and automatically
connecting the second computer and completing the print job.
If one user is connected to the external HD, I can see that in the
Hub Control Center, and can "Request Use" of the hardware. A little
text message pops up on the connected computer, and then if the
connected computer disconnects, the requesting computer can manually
connect.
One of the weirdest things about it is that they tout its wireless
ability (the box has the word "wireless" on it at least 11 times),
but it has only a 10/100BaseTX port, so you have to connect it to
a wireless access point or router, not included (which is clear
if you read the whole box).
The box also touts it as "the industry's 1st reliable print server"
even though it isn't a print server. It does seem to be a reliable
way to share printers, though, so it does the same job as a print
server. The only real difference is that the print queues are maintained
on the desktops and contend for the printer, instead of going into
a central queue on the print server.
I did a little test on the transfer speed on the Belkin F5L009.
I transferred a 1.3 GB file through the F5L009, and the transfer
speed seemed good for the first minute, then plummeted, and the
transfer took about 20 minutes, during which time the computer was
much less responsive (though the Task Manager showed CPU and HD
usage under 25%). Then I plugged the drive right into my laptop's
USB port and the transfer took 1 minute. Smaller transfers (10 MB)
only took about 30 seconds, which is OK, but hardly USB 2.0 speed.

I’m not sure about this), which is not supported by D-link for
this model. However, after some tinkering and turning stuff on
and off I got things up and running. Unfortunately, just like
I have been reading about other people with Pixma printers, there
is no proper status feedback from the printer. For example, I
can not see the ink-levels on my printer. Come January Canon Malaysia

yet.
You can only change the setup of the printer locally, so to get
it to work via the server connect it locally and tick all the
spool, memory associate to the USB connection and timeouts and
set them to high values... i.e. the only issue is the speed at
which it responds via the server, especially if you have the power
saving set short. " |

Brother HL-1240
Brother HL-1430 & Epson C41UX: After having problems
getting it going, Brent advises that the install guide found on
the Australian
site (Zip file) states to enter LPR settings as 'lpUSB0'.
However if you check the D-Link
global site it states to enter just "lp". Using
LP works while 'lpUSB0' would not for some reason.
Brother 5140D: See comments by Angus for HP Laserjet
1000 in "doesn't work" column.
Brother HL5150D
Brother MFC 9180: Cam reports "Ive been using
this for maybe 1 ½ years or so. The printer works fine and haven’t
had any problems with it. And so the print server has worked fine
as well."
Canon i865: Rob reports "I have a DLink DI-704UP
and it works fine with my Canon i865 EXCEPT that the print monitor
reports "Printer not responding". The job prints at normal speed
but alas no warnings of paper or ink out."
Canon iP3000: Justin reports "it worked on
all machines (98, 2000 and XP). I only tested from notepad, and
the client tested from word, but both were successful."
Canon MP730
Canon Pixma IP2000: David reports "Responds
to commands sent to it, like clean, power off etc, but there is
no feedback for ink levels or other status. The print drivers
installed happily connecting through the router printer port."
Canon iP4200: Thomas reports "Canon ip4200
and D-Link 704up work fine. Installation is very easy all you
need to do is install the printer server, install printer drivers
and manually select D-Link printer port. Printer works great EXCEPT
printer sometimes reports "Printer not responding" (just turn
off monitor status) and cannot tell you ink levels. I have had
issues with 'dropouts' where the printer and router are not communicating.
Turning the power on and off to the printer solves the problem
but this is annoying and I cannot fix it."
Canon PIXMA iP5000: Giles reports "It works
fine as far as printing goes. It seems to take instructions o.k.
like automatically turning on the printer, duplexing etc. However,
it gives no feedback on the printer status, such as ink levels,
etc. It just leaves a message saying “printer not responding”.
This can be a bit frustrating!"
Canon Pixma i6600D: Paul reports "I setup
the printer software and drivers before connecting, as per instructions.
I then setup access from the router as D-Link instruct and it
worked perfectly straight up. I successfully tested the printer
with adjusting preferences, printing test pages, print head alignment
test, nozzle check and power off working fine from the properties
menu. The only exception was viewing printer status which looks
at ink tank levels etc, would not work."
Canon S100SP: Michael reports "...it mostly
works ok except it sometimes refuses to print for no obvious reason,
requiring powering off and on; it demands that bi-directional
printing be enabled; and the printer driver always reports "printer
not responding"."
Canon S520
Epson C41UX (See above for Brother HL-1430
Epson AcuLaser C1100: Darren reports "It seems
to print OK. However the print job will not stop. i.e. It will
keep printing until I kill the job on the Printer. I have just
begun my investigation on this one. Not quite sure if its the
printer or the router that is causing the problem. This didn't
happen when I directly plugged the printer into the PC via the
USB cable."
Update: "I seemed to have solved the problem
by deleting the port then reinstalling using instructions from
the DLink FAQ on their website."
Epson C66: Peter reports "Works fine with
the C-66. Emailed D-Link about my particular printer before I
bought it, they had no clue. I would advise anyone considering
buying this box that if your printer is not on the approved/disapproved
list. Go and give it a try anyway, there's a good chance it will
work. I, like all the others do not get bi-directional support
(no ink levels). Don't know why there isn't an update to fix this
yet, that is ridiculous. I see no delay in printing caused by
using the 704up over not using it. However, once in a while (like
when changing the cartridges) I will lose connection with the
printer and will not be able to print. Print server works by assigning
an IP address to the printer. To fix the issue, I must get new
address for printer. Turning off the computers, the printer and
then the router. Then I turn on printer first, wait till it posts,
then plug in router, then turn on computer. This by the way is
the correct order to power up when installing. Again, the manual
and quick-start guide both tell you otherwise, don't believe them.
This has only happened twice, and I consider it an acceptable
issue, though there should be a way to release and renew the printer
only through the on-screen interface."

HP Photosmart 7600: "K" reports "My HP
Photosmart 7600 printer is not supported. When you get to the
step to select your printer it is not there. D-Link support says
to try inserting your Printer Driver disk at that point, that
did not work either. I tried something stupid and it worked. I
selected a driver for a different printer, then after the install
was done I went in and changed the driver to my printer driver
(which my system still had available as it was installed previously).
Works great!"
HP LaserJet 1010: Erica reports "All I had

following guide located at this

Lexmark X215 MFC (print only)
Samsung ML4600: Bill reports "Setup was fine
just as described in the instructions. However, it sometimes will
not accept a print job and/or the print job just sits in the queue.
I recently found in these situations that if I reboot the router
it automatically runs the print job."
Xerox Phaser 3115: Scott reports "I have a
704UP and it works with Xerox Phaser 3115, but will not support
my Kyocera Mita FS-1010" |
Macs: Cathy reports "I just recently purchased
a D-Link Ethernet Broadband Router with USB print server (DI-704UP).
There were no instructions on how to install the print server
software on a mac. Anyway, I rang the D-Link Australia technical
support line and they confirmed that they do not support Macs
- so no print server for me! It's a bit misleading cause it does
say on their online tech sheet that they have print server support
for Mac OS, however, when the router came it says on the box that
the print server only works with Windows Operating Systems. How
disappointing!"
Update: Rod reports this
link which is all about getting OSX to work with the DI-704P.
The 704P has a parallel port print server rather than USB, but
the instructions might just do the trick anyway.
Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120: David reports "I have
tried to get the printer to print through the printer server of
the router, but have been unsuccessful. The router knows that
the printer is there, but the printer just won’t work."
Dell AIO Printer 962: Calton reports "does NOT

Epson R310: Keith reports "first unit did not
work, got replacement unit from D-Link - set up easily, worked
for 1 day then failed, tried to get it working for a week and
then gave up. DI-704UP has the most reliable Bigpond Cable client
I've tried, so all is not lost."
HP Laserjet1000: Angus reports "I have recently
installed a Dlink DI-704UP print server/router and tried two laser
printers: The print server didn't work with HP Laserjet1000 (This
is a host based printer. HP warned it didn't work and they were
right). The Brother 5140D worked perfectly. (XP worked out of
the box with its supplied LPR/LPD, win98 required installation
of the DLINK supplied print server software)."
HP Laserjet 1320: Jeff reports that contrary to D-Link's
phone advice, this was not compatible after all. HP confirmed
this was the case and advised that it would only work with a HP
JetDirect Print Server.
Samsung
ML-1710: does not offer complete bi-directional support &
when the printer goes into standby/sleep mode and a print job

704UP and it works with Xerox Phaser 3115, but will not support
my Kyocera Mita FS-1010"
Kyocera FS 820: Stefan reports no success with this.
The router would not show the light for a connected printer.
Lexmark Z53 Color Jet: George reports "I have
been fighting with the USB print server function of a D-Link DI-704UP
for nearly three months. The router works fine, but not the print
server. We had previously had no trouble with a D-Link DI-704P
(with a parallel port print server), but when the router portion
failed, the DI-704UP is what the company replaced it with. Our
printer is a Lexmark Z53 Color Jetprinter. The D-Link tech told
me to phone or email Lexmark and get an IP address and port name.
So far, that has not been forthcoming." |

on two of our three machines, it only works intermittently. It works
for a couple of printouts, then suddenly (I have found no pattern)
remains in the queue. It doesn't print until computer restart. We
have another printer also, so we tried switching to that to see if
the problem was printer/driver related, an Epson Stylus Photo 890,
but the intermittent problem remained. I thus conclude this printer
also would work on XP". |

Glen reports in general "I noticed something about the
software for the D-Link DI-824VUP+ router/print server that might
be useful to point out to people. When it's installed you get
a port added to the printer called PRTmate that redirects to the
print server. What isn't obvious is that by default this is configured
to use the parallel port on the router and if like most people
these days you have a USB printer your print jobs go into a black
hole. No error message, the job just sits there and never completes.
Soon as you click the Configure Port button on the PRTmate port
in the printer properties and change it to USB it's all happy.
Easy enough once you know but I'm sure it's caused some head scratching."
Canon
i550: Glenn reports "that both the parallel and USB
ports can be used simultaneously. I have a Xerox P8ex Laser and
a Canon i550 InkJet and both work fine via the USB port (and parallel
port for that matter). I presently have the InkJet connected to
the USB port and the status monitor doesn't function (never worked
when connected directly to the PC anyway so maybe not the printer
server's fault).
Canon S900: Cameron reports "I set up my network
using a D-Link DI-824VUP+ and connected my Canon S900 to the USB

them using the supplied instructions [on CD] and they both work
fine. The router is using firmware V1.04 ,the printers are both
using original drivers and the operating system is Win XP. The
queue name is lp for the Epson and lpUSB0 for the Canon."
Epson Stylus C20: Mark reports "the Epson Stylus

There are two PC Desktops, wired, running XP Home and XP Pro and
a Wireless Dell Laptop running Vista Home Premium. I installed the

able to print from all three machines but I keep getting the following
error:
"Canon iP4300 USB001. Cannot communicate with the printer.
Turn Enable bi-directional support on in the printer's Properties

I cannot get rid of this error and I cannot turn on bi-directional
support because the check box is greyed out. Canon has been completely
useless and supports only one print server. Network Magic does not
support print servers and does not fully support my router. D-Link
will only support getting your internet shared but not the Print
Share option. I tried setting the port to TCP but could not print
at all. Any one out there get this router to work correctly with

Epson C42+: Foamcow reports "I use a D-Link DNS-323

there doesn't seem to be any way to monitor the print queue on

out of warranty (and potentially 'brick' the unit)."
HP PSC 750: Mads reports "I got it to work with
a little fooling around. I guess this work-around will work for
all HP PSC Series (Printer/Scanner/copy).
1. Install original PSC 750 driver on the pc (just connect it
direct to the USB port)
2. Connect the PSC 750 to the DNS-323
3. Double-click on shared printer (\\dns323share\lp)
4. Pick "HP PaintJet" from the list when prompted for printer
driver
5. Go to Printer -> Properties -> Advanced and choose "HP PSC

Now you have full printer functionality (but no scanning, I guess…)

Terry reports (in general): This Print server was really
crappy with the 1.xx firmware out of the box it ships with. Constantly
locking up randomly needing power cycle to bring alive and then
would shortly die. Updated to 2.00 firmware and it runs like a
dream. 5 units tested with the same result.
Canon i350: Randy reports "The 301U is connected
to my Canon i350. Setup was a little tricky. First, the device
defaults to an IP of 192.168.0.10 instead of using DHCP. My network
is 192.168.2.xxx and it took me about 20 minutes to figure out
that the device was on a different subnet. So then I took a spare
laptop and set its IP to 192.168.0.xxx and used it to configure
the unit to use DHCP. Then, for an unknown reason, printing wouldn't
work at all. I finally removed the printer from control panel
and restarted the installation process. It worked."

Canon imageClass MP370: Anthony reports "the

Canon Pixma ip4000: Crispin reports "My network
contains a mixture of Windows 2000 machines and Mac OSX boxes.
The Windows computers have no problem printing with this set up
but the Macs presented more of a problem which I appear to have
overcome: The Canon ip4000 printer drivers for OSX don't behave
like other drivers in that they don't show up in the dialog box
unless the printer is actually plugged into the machine with a
USB cable. The answer seems to be to use the drivers for the Canon
BJC 7000 instead which appear to work well with the ip4000 printer."
Canon iP4300: Adriaan reports "Our wireless home
network consists of a PC and a laptop, both running Windows XP.
We can print wireless, but the 2 computers cannot retrieve the
printer's status (unless I connect them directly with the printer's
USB cable). This is rather annoying since you can't monitor the
printer's ink levels, and that results in empty ink cartridges
at the most inconvenient moments. The printer will the not print
with empty cartridges, unless the you accept "the consequences"
(possible damage). But to have the option to accept these, the
computer needs to know the printer's status, and this I only manage
to recieve by connecting the computer directly with the printer."
Canon Pixma MP780: Richard reports "as with other
MFDs the scanning and fax functions don’t work, other than this
a relatively painless install. However, I have had issues with
it over wireless where the last page of every document will pause
for 20 seconds before finishing. Wired printing works fine, however
set up is improved if you fully remove the drivers from the computer
first. Using the manual for this print server is highly recommended
as you’ll be up and running in just a few minutes."
Warning: Dave reports that he had no luck getting this
combination to work: "I have an DP301U and trying to set
up an MP780 on it (actually I have 2 so I know the printer is

of the manuals and the usual ambiguous dialogue boxes from Micro$oft,
the 301U installed without drama. To date it has worked perfectly,
much more reliably than the Printer Sharing arrangement I had
before. A few words of caution: Follow the instructions in the
manual exactly. These are significantly different for different
versions of Windoze. Write everything down that you change, including
Port Name, IP address, Subnet Mask, etc. Double-check everything
before hitting the Apply button."

from the printserver/printer. Worked fine after the firmware was
upgraded."
HP1020: Tim reports "I have this printer working
with the DP-301U. When I first configured the DP-301U I had the
common problem of the data being transmitted through my router
and into the print server, the USB light coming on to say the
server was trying to send data to the printer but the printer
did not receive the data. I reset the print server so that I had
a fresh start and reset the IP address to what I had given it
in my router. Tested the Server Web page access to ensure I had
it set correctly and changed none of the other settings. Then
I used my HP 1020 install disk to totally remove the print drivers
from my Windows XP computer and then reinstall the driver. I reattached
the printer to the USB port on my computer, tested the print worked,
and then reattached the USB cable to the print server. Next, I
added a new printer through Windows, selected the TCP/IP port
I had already created for the server and changed none of the settings
from the defaults listed in the print server manual. The printer
now works fine with the server."
HP LaserJet 1010: Nirus reports "This printer
model is known for not working with linux very well, due to the
fact that it is a lower end ‘host based’ printing model. My experiences
find that while the print server behaves fairly reliably, if the
printer does fall over (it does on a regular basis with linux),
then the print server will also need to be restarted before the
printer will work again."

successful and it must be in configuration mode (switch at back
of server) to change its settings. This is where I got angry.
It turns out that it doesn't work in WPA-PSK mode as I have my
router configured. I had no idea this was true until I saw the
DP-311P configuration page. Even though it was manufactured and
designed in the same time frame as my router, it still only had
WEP encryption. I could actually configure it with WEP 128 bit,

Of course it would not stay connected unless the router was set

from whom I finally learned that my printer (HP LaserJet 1020)
is not compatible with the Print Server". |

Canon BJC4200: Stephen reports "Installation
was easy and it was up and running on all of our computers within
10 minutes of coming out of the box. No printing problems thus
thus far (its been several days)."
HP Laserjet 4L: Cesar reports "It works seamlessly
with a MFC HP Officejet 6110 (USB), a parallel HP Laserjet 4L.
It would not work with a newer HP LaserJet 1020, it shows it offline
and would not change or print."

Canon Pixma 4200: Lukas reports "without any
problem "
Epson Stylus CX-5400: David reports "As a printer,
this device works fine. It will not detect as a scanner at all."
Brother MFC-7420: Printing works fine but it doesn't
detect the scanner to allow network scanning so I wouldn't bet
on anything other than models
listed as supported working fully with this unit. Printing
