Want to connect up to four USB printers to your network, but don't want to string more cabling? If you already have wireless as part of your network, this device will save the day. Not only will it add the printers and act as a print server for them, you can also hook up a computer or Network Accessible Storage (NAS) to the RJ-45 port and make them wireless as well!
This wireless print server also works with some multi-function printers (scanning function on select printers; no fax support), giving you added versatility.Part of Dlink's Rangebooster G series, it operates on both the 802.11b and g standards for maximum possible print job speed. An automatic configuration program configures the server and introduces your printer to it.
If you want to make your printers and an additional Ethernet-enabled device wireless, this may be the gadget for you!
USB 2.0 Interface With the D-Link DPR-1260 Rangebooster G Multifunction Print Server’s four USB 2.0 ports, share up to 4 USB or multifunction printers with everyone on your network at fast data transfer speeds.
IEEE 802.11b/g Compliant Compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g protocol, the D-Link DPR-1260 integrates into existing wireless networks and provides up to 54Mb data transfer speeds.
Pros: Run print and scan jobs from your browser on Windows or Mac.
Cons: Can require deep investment in time and knowledge
Other Thoughts:
This device sits on the self, then I dust it off and go through the pain of set-up.
Last time I spent half a day with a D-Link tech as we reset and redid step by step until we sort of got it working, whcih worked great until the DHCP reset the IP...the Mac worked when I google-found the solution in a forum (non-mac, non d-link)
Pros: Worked well for one day.
Cons: Installed exactly as described in the installation guide, but was all downhill from there. Drops connections, can't find the wireless signal from my router, can't find attached printers -- you name it, this poor excuse for a paperweight gets it wrong. Unbelievably poor quality for a D-Link product.
Other Thoughts:
Returning it after 3 days of frustration. Will not buy another D-Link product unless it's the last thing available in the world. D-Link has really slid down the chute. I used to be a big fan of D-Link products, but this one bad experience wiped out years of good will in my book.
I really wish I'd paid attention to the other reviews before purchasing this thing. (Newegg needs to provide a zero egg rating because this thing earned it!)
Pros: Still going great. Bought 2 years ago. The scanner function on my Canon MP470 is not compatible. However my Epson was and I can scan to my PC Win 7 64bit.
Cons: Check printer compatibility list on Dlink forum before you buy..
Pros: Works with more devices than advertised. I bought this to act as a print server for a Brother HL-2140. D-Link's website only listed the Brother HL-2040 in their compatibility list so I was a bit wary of unboxing this, but I decided to try it and wasn't disappointed. Configuring new computers to use the printer in a Windows environment is as simple as pointing the browser to the right place, downloading a small executable and running it. Seconds later you're ready to print.
Cons: Setup may be intimidating for those who are not comfortable with setting up networks.
Pros: The printer server wold be nice in terms of allowing up to four printers to be connected to it. That's a very desirable feature ... if it works.
Cons: Erratic behavior. Have to reset it about ten times a day. Product support not very useful. They tell you to reset it. So, you have to reset it about three or four times for every print job. A total waste of time. Had to disconnect it and still searching for a better product. Totally disappointed in D-Link.
Pros: great with windows found printer very fast
Cons:
WILL NOT WORK WITH MAC
NO SUPPORT FOR MAC

Comments: With wireless printers coming of age these devices are becoming obsolete. Never found one that worked well, but this one may have been one of the best.
