In Network Print Servers

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 thing is tiny, the pictures here don't give you an idea on how small the device really is, it's smaller than a deck of cards. I was able to install it under my desk very discretely. Follow the quick install guide and you can easily get this working on your network. Most people don't default their network to the .0. subnet (read 192.168.0.1 subnet..... most default to the 192.168.1.1 subnet). Either way, the setup guide on the provided CD guides you thru setting up on your own network subnet. Follow this and you cannot go wrong. Also, set an IP on the print server and give it a static IP on your router to keep things always working. I added 3 more hard wired PCs, and 1 wireless PC on my network with ease by following the user guide and everything worked great. My printer is a work horse LaserJet 1320 and this print server greatly expanded the capability of it.

Works great. Fast printing to my Epson CX4600. Did not need to use the CD to setup the print server!! Simply updated the printer properties to use TCP/IP LPR for the systems which used to shared the printer. The setup for the printer can be accessed via http://1p_printserv2aeae4/

This is small and inexpensive.
