I tried three other USB print servers before this WAVLINK product - all-in-all, this unit keeps the R260 connected in the simplest way - nothing to launch in the background to connect to the printer. I am using the Ethernet connection instead of the wireless - personal preference there. The WAVLINK also has a WAP feature and a Ethernet bridge feature which can come in handy. Long & short, this unit puts the Epson on the network as if it had a factory network interface card (NIC) installed.

This is small and inexpensive.



Print server was very easy to setup in Win7 once it was configured with a static IP address consistent with my home network router (see other thoughts). Unit is very small making it is easy to find a home for it near the printer. The supplied setup software is simple and easy to use. Unit is well made and looks and feels sturdy. Price is reasonable.


This neat little biscuit sized Server is a great solution for multiple PCs networked at home. We are using it on both Windows and Linux PCs. Setup on Linux was a piece of cake and worked straight away. Setup on Windows was also easy and only complicated by the Firewall software. After some on line searching found that the Spooler Subsystem requires server access in the trusted network.You will most likely need the software loaded on Windows (we did) to allow the Print Server to be discovered.


Does not require fancy setup Does not require custom software
