D-LINK DPR-1260 Multifunction Print Server Wireless Bridge 10/100 Wan 4XUSB2.0 802.11B/G

Cons: Can't get status return: Low Ink, out of paper, etc

Pros: Works with stuff not explicitly supported: Vista Business SP2, Epson R260, Samsung ML-2010. IMPORTANT to upgrade DPR-1260 to latest firmware, install latest printer drivers before configuring. Despite others' experience, no problems with XP Pro SP3, WPA2 TPIK, DHCP.

Cons: Initial setup over ethernet was okay, but wireless setup was a major PITA! The Quick Install Guide and the User Manual, while coherent, skip some basic info. Don't assume as I did that the device will autonegotiate to plain old 802.11G from Dlink's Rangebooster G.

Pros: 4 USB ports. Small footprint. Reasonable price on NewEgg. NewEgg delivery. Very easy setup on other PCs once you get it working -- but see Cons. Works with my older Epson Stylus Photo R200.

Cons: None.

Pros: This works well in my home with 4 computers on a HP Color LaserJet 2605

Cons: - Installing the HP 1018 printer proved rather challenging and I was unable to find any procedures for making it work. I figured out how to make it all work and have posted the installation procedure below. The results were confirmed by successful installation on 3 current Lenovo laptops. - Save yourself a headache and just access your print server by typing "dlink-XXXXXX" into the url bar of your browser, where "XXXXXX" is the last 6 characters of the MAC address of the DPR-1260 print server (as noted in the instructions for a Windows 2000 install). - I don't have an all-in-one printer, so I couldn't try that part out :(

Pros: - Really easy to install compatible printers. Installing a 10 year old Deskjet 895cxe was completely effortless. - User interface is quite good.

Cons: Constantly drops off-line,emailed Dlink,they couldn't understand my problem??!!more than 1/2 the time does not show up in my network map,not very happy with this unit.Probably going to RMA and use another brand.

Pros: none that I can think of.

Cons: I bought this print server for two features: First, it had my printer (an older HP Photosmart 7350) listed as compatible. Second, it also has a range booster feature, which would definitely be handy in my new home. Sadly, I wasn't able to get either feature working.The print server kept getting hung up on the installation. After adjusting the uPNP feature on my desktop (which D-Link's instructions were quite thorough on), I was ready to install the printer drivers to the DPR-1260. Unfortunately, it kept insiting it could not locate the drivers on my install CD. I also downloaded a new set of drivers from HP, unpacked them, and again wasn't able to install them. After this, I tried contacting D-Link's foreign-based tech support and referred back to HP for driver problems. I don't believe the problem is on HP's end - the 7350 is several years old and the printer works fine with either the new or old driversThe server also kept dropping offline when used as a range booster

Pros: I am unable to list any...could never get this product to work as intended.

Cons: It is buggy scanning from the PC with the Epson RX500 and will not work when trying to do a scan with Java Applet inside I.E. 8 (i.e. trying to scan things to online banking).(Even with their recommended driver download) Otherwise this would be perfection...

Pros: It prints fine with the HP 1320 LJ.It does recognize the Epson RX500 All-in-One as a scanner in the HTML interface, but...

Cons: Not really any cons to this product. The only thing I can complain about is that the users' manual is not very clear and sometimes confusing. Its not over the top terrible, but there is definitely room for improvement.

Pros: Small and compact design. Product comes with a vertical plastic stand and wall mounting hardware. Installation was tricky at first, but overall easy. Great wireless signal, all computers in the office have perfect wireless communication with the unit. Even the computers located in the floor above can communicate perfectly. The unit is placed by several other wireless devices and yet the signal strength of the DPR-1260 is unaffected. Wireless printing is pretty fast as well...even when multiple computers are printing. You can attach a total of 4 printer to the print server. Currently the office only uses 2. Overall, this is a great product, it does the job well. All 16 computers in the office can now print effortlessly over the wireless connection.

Cons: Sat on phone with D-Link tech support for 2 + hours and got no where.Had to set up static IP on PC and connect directly to Print server.Could NOT ping print server even with static IP.DLINK print server does not work properly. Does not pull DHCP nor does the built in web server come up.Dlink tech support is USELESS. They refuse to replace the unit for ANY reason.

Pros: NONE. Defective out of BOX

Cons: So far none with this one.

Pros: Wireless with a Verizon Westell multiport DSL modem actually works w/ an HP 1320 and an Epson RX500 as per the setup instructions. It worked the first time thru setup.

Cons: Since the automated installer requires that some sort of preexisting printer driver be installed, it can be a bit tricky to actually install the printer at times, depending on your printer manufacturer.Still, everything is working perfectly so I've no complaints about that!

Pros: Easy to set up, large range increase, FOUR USB printer support (seriously, where are you going to find this for this kind of price?)

Cons: Had to reset immediatley during set up, must have had a static IP??? Doesn't work properly with WPA2 security - print Qs just hang. I use it also as a switch for my desktop and it drops max size packets. I had to lower MTU down to 1450 to get it to work.

Pros: Works fine if you dont use WPA2

Cons: *The DPR-1260 does not work with jumbo frames. If you have a network storage device, this becomes an issue. I have a D-Link DNS323 network storage device that I use jumbo frames for faster transfers but with that enabled I cannot get to the DPR-1260 to scan or print. Called tech support and they did not have a clue.* Emailed tech support five days ago with no response.* Tech support must be in another country as it was very hard to understand who I was speaking with.

Pros: Can print or scan with any computer on your network as long as you are not using jumbo frames.

Cons: A bit sketchy on the installation instructions

Pros: Works great! After getting DHCP enabled on all the networking devices (forgot about my switch) and finding the printer CD, setup was a breeze and took about 2 minutes/computer.

Cons: Changing any of the administration and/or device configuration items requires a device reboot. The reboot process flashes a 30 second timer on your browser window. BUT, you don't have to do the reboot process for every change. Make all your changes, then reboot once.

Pros: Everything you need to know to install this product on Win2K or WinXP is in the book and/or in the software loaded on the device. No mention of Vista or Win7 - though setup through Win7 was brain-dead simple.Accessing the device very easy. The booklet says that you need to use a CAT5 connection during initial install - that is, to configure the wireless (that makes sense). What they don't tell you is that once you have it talking wirelessly, you really need to disconnect the CAT5 - the communication between the device and your computer get's really bogged down. Wireless set up was simple and direct. Printer setup was easy ... once I disconnected the CAT5.Device administration is through a browser - pick one. I tried both Firefox 3.0.11 and IE 8 - both worked easily.Once plugged into the USB port, printer recognition was automatic.

Cons: No good for older printers used with Ethernet and scanners not listed. Does not work with external drives!!!

Pros: Sets up easy enough for most printers. Pretty stable.

Cons: Check the Printer list to make sure your printer will work, unless you are an experienced Tech.

Pros: I rate this print server with 5 stars, however I rate Newegg's customer service a 1. Not being able to drop ship an item is utter and complete garbage. - And the customer service rep wasn't exactly helpful, all I got was a bunch of policy information, and I wasn't even directed to My Account to add the drop address to one of my Newegg addresses.

Cons: Doesn't actually work with all the printers they claim work. Technical Support is a JOKE. Getting an e-mail reply is difficult (5 e-mails in), calling them on the phone is pointless. It would help if SOMEONE in the tech support department understood the English language. It would be REALLY nice if they had some understanding of the product. "Reinstalling the WindowsXP drivers" won't help the "Status" the unit is reporting. Yet that is the only answer I can get. Trying to use any sort of technical term with these ignorant fools is just a joke. What my router has to do with this product reporting the printer as offline is beyond me. I have already removed the few D-Link products on our network, and will NEVER touch this company again.

Pros: Small footprint, easy to setup.

Cons: * can't do WPA (see other thoughts) although it's documented as capable* Web interface works but is really slow at times. When loading the "setup" page, for example, if you're using a Mac, the page loads for about 5 minutes (while apparently querying G o d about the reason for its existence) before stating plainly that your operating system is not supported, at which point, you can actually begin configuring it. Same goes for Linux. Also, once it's scanned for nearby wifi networks, it sometimes wants to rescan (for a few minutes) when you change pages.

Pros: * great reception.* displays all nearby networks and their channels* smallish* four USB ports, various options for connecting to printers (TCP/IP, LPD). * works great with WPA2* firmware upgrades

Cons: Would not recognize my Canon MX700. Returned product with no issues from Newegg.

Pros: Looks nice.
