Adding a parallel printer to your network has never been easier. Just plug the PS101 from Netgear into the printer and the network cable into the RJ45 port. The NETGEAR print server software makes set up easy. Management is even easier with the web-based interface.
You can install your printer in any convenient, central location to make it easy for everyone to get to. Or, you can hide it away in a closet saving space and keeping things quiet. Secret or "out there", control your printing and enable your growing network.
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: I use two of these on my home network. One for my laser printer and the other for my color inkjet. These things are great. I've had them for over 4 years and hardly notice that they're there. They work fantastic.
Cons: none.
Other Thoughts: I've recommended these things more times then I can count on my fingers and toes. I've never personally met anyone who's been unhappy with them. I wish there was a USB version.

Did you?
Pros: Small...fits nicely inside the wiring compartment of my Laserjet 2100
Cons: Doesn't retain settings if ever powered off...doesn't even retain settings sometimes without being powered off. Will print at the most two or three jobs before its print buffer overloads and it hangs to the point where it requires a hard restart. Says it supports DHCP...but I haven't seen any evidence of that. Web interface is minimalistic and gives almost no useful information...and only works about half the time, not to mention some of the notices on it are poorly translated engrish.
Other Thoughts: The form factor is nice, but it simply is not big enough to contain enough settings to make it an even moderately functional print server. Unless you like having to reset all settings every time you overload its minimal print buffer, this product isn't worth anyone's time.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: small
Cons: 1)Cannot install under Linux without a long search on the internet for proper lpd address. Even then, prints once and then hangs forever. 2)Couldn't get it to install and work in win2k. 3)Web interface is very minimal, shows almost no useful information
Other Thoughts: This is not worth the aggravation.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Works after you reset it quite nicely
Cons: You have to reset (pull the power) everytime you don't use it for more than a couple of hours. It just falls right off the network. Netgear acknowledged the problem but had no answers.
Other Thoughts: Maybe there are some of these that work well...but the two we purchased didn't and after wasting time with Netgear support just trashed them.
