Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Linksys by Cisco PSUS4 PrintServer for USB with 4 Port Switch
Customer Review: Good but tricky
Summary: 3 Stars
Like a number of the other reviews mentioned, the PSUS4 works fine as a printserver but the included setup software isn't worth even removing from the box. I am by no means a networking expert but I had the time to tinker with the device and found that you really need to be ready to configure the PSUS4 directly using your browser and then configure each computer for local printing by creating a new TCP/IP port using the IP address of the unit and configuring it for printing to "USB1". If this sounds complicated it really isn't and with a bit of searching you can find quick and easy instructions from an article on the Linksys website (note the lack of mentioning USB1 in the article).
Long story short, don't buy this if you want plug and play but if you have a basic understanding of networking you will find this works fine after a bit of a painful initial setup. I found that it took much longer just to find the information I needed than actually setting up the unit.
Customer Review: Absolute Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Run from Linksys - this product is garbage and as stated in other reviews not compatible with some HP printers. It took me 3 hours on the phone and tech service was completely unhelpful before they told me it was the printer - complete BS - to boot, product documentation in the box is practically non-existent and the website is no help either.
Encountered similar problems with other Linksys offerings - will never buy this brand again.
Customer Review: Don't buy the PSUS4
Summary: 1 Stars
I've a PSUS4 for over two years now. I'm awaiting the return of a forth replacement unit from Linksys. They stream my LAN and kill connections. Linksys tried to claim the warranty was one year even though the .PDF on their web site states three years. When I cross shipped the last return, they charged my credit card early and then took forever to refund the money. Now, they claim the unit is on back order for over six weeks already. This is the last Linksys component in my LAN. I've replaced every other device with other brands. Linksys stinks!Customer Review: Linksys Print Server PSUS4

DO Not buy this product...it is not for multifunctional printers. Linksys just launched the WPSM54G at the Las Vegas Electronic Show 2007. Go to Linksys for details....and Google the productCustomer Review: Incompatibility
Summary: 1 Stars
This component was returned because it was not compatible with my Dell all-in-one printer. I was not alerted to this possibility by any information from the manufacturer, from the supplier, or in print on the package. I should have been.
