Customer Review: Hit or Miss Print Server
Summary: 3 Stars
Purchased this from a local retailer for $20 plus tax - a really good deal. Connected to an H-P LJ-1012 which is a basic laser printer model from about 4 years ago.
I'm a mid-level PC user, understand the lexicon but don't know the technical standards. Basically, this device is hit or miss with your setup, and you won't get any help from D-Link, not by e-mail and the FAQ really sucks.
Here's my experience.
NOTE: WINDOWS XP (SP2)
Following the quick setup instructions, the 301U server found my H-P LJ 1012 printer, but my DSL internet connection was disabled, so I had to disconnect the Print Server to get back my DSL. As mentioned, D-Link doesn't do tech support; absolutely nothing helpful in its web database and radio silence via e-mail.
One day with some idle time, I decided to try again and got it to work on my network. I ignored the quick setup directions; basically, ignored directions on changing my Windows XP network connection settings (as the setup settings would disable my DSL connection).
I followed the directions to electrically connect the Print Server to the network, then used the D-link PS Admin software to do a test page, which printed the IP address. My DSL connection remained active and the test page indicated that the Print Server had an assigned IP address in the network. I then installed the H-P Printer by following the directions using the IP address (and creating an associated printer port) shown on the test page. This worked on all 3 of my PC's and the DSL connection remained enabled. Later on, I learned that the Printer Server IP address would change (don't know why except to guess that IP addresses can be dynamic) which would disable the related printer port. However, again, by using the PS Admin software, I was able to set the Print Server to hold the IP address by clicking the "manual" box. For the past 2 months, the settings held and my DSL connection remain enabled.
I was lucky to stumble upon this method of installation, but D-link was absolutely useless in getting it to work for me.
