Customer Review: Setup instructions below, pain to setup but works
Summary: 5 Stars

I gave it 5 stars because I was able to get it running I hope my review will help others with the setup of the Hawkings print server.

After struggling with the setup of this small print server, I will tell you the secret to setting it up quickly and with little head ache as possible. The secret is to know the default IP address of the print server. Stupid tech support told me it was 192.168.1.250 ... wrong. I had to use angry IP scanner to find the real default IP address.

Connect the printer (leave printer on) to print server then connect to your computer.

First, the default IP address for the print server is the following IP address 1.2.3.4 so setup your network card (WiFi) with an IP address of 1.2.3.5 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 Default gateway is not needed.

Open a dos prompt and type in the following (without quotes)"ping 1.2.3.4"
If you get a response then your ready to go if not you screwed up so fix the IP or check the subnet mask.

I suggest if possible directly connecting the print server to your computer and not through your router.

Second install the configuration tool that comes with the print server and run it. It should detect the print server and your printer automatically. (Note: some multi-function printers will not work with the print server)

Figure out what IP address you want for the print server, enter it into the configuration application and close the application.

Then change your IP address from 1.2.3.5 to whatever it was before (unless your using DHCP) then revert back to obtain IP address automatically

Now login into your router and add the IP address that you entered in the configuration tool. (I suggest you make this a static route, you can do that even if your using DHCP, don't forget to add the MAC address, it address is located on the back of the print server, it might be called Node ID). Read the instructions to your router for adding routes.

Ping the new address IP of the printer.

If you do not have drivers for you printer install them now.

Goto printers and fax in the control panel of Windows, click on add printer, add a network printer, enter in the following (without quotes) "http://your.IP.address/lp1" and make it your default printer. You need to have the "/lp1" after the IP address.

Now you should be ready to print.

Vanilla Ice rules!!!

Word to your Mother.

Description of Hawking Technology HPS1U 1 Port USB Internet Print Server

MODEL- H-PS1U VENDOR- HAWKING TECHNOLOGIES FEATURES- USB 10/100M Internet Print Server Instantly Connect Your USB Printer To Your Home or Office Network! Use the H-PS1U To Print Over the Internet! The Hawking HPS1U USB 10/100 Print Server is a powerful and convenient tool to connect your USB printer to a 10/100M Network. The HPS1U combined with the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) lets you easily connect to any printer and print documents by specifying the print server's IP address. With IPP technology printing over a WAN or the Internet becomes much easier. You can send a print job to a printer in another country just as easily as sending a print job to your home or office printer. IPP eliminates the need for fax communications between offices by simply printing an original document over the Internet and sending it from one office to another without the degradation of image and text quality that fax machines produce. Why use a fax to send information from office to office when you can print your documents directly from your computer to another out of office printer?
