Wired, USB Interface, 100 Mbps, External, Cabling: Ethernet 100Base-TX, Ethernet 10Base-T
The Linksys PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch is a double upgrade for your network. First, it lets you connect a USB printer directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print serving chores. Using a PrintServer frees up your print share PC so you don't have to leave it on all the time. It also removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work. In addition, the PrintServer includes a 4-port 10/100 switch, so you can easily add more devices to your network. All four ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently negotiates the best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network. A user-friendly Setup Wizard makes installation easy, the compact case fits anywhere.

Unit worked as advertised. Setup not exact but worked!
Author's Rating:
Pros: Metal construction. Cheaper then Netgear that has no switch ports. Integrated with switch nice!
Cons: The unit locked up the whole network.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I got this working on 2 computers within about 30 minutes. I am an advanced user and thought the setup instructions were fine. Driver install didn't start automatically I had to click on it from the menu. I had to unselect printer offline to start... Read Full Review by shashinka, Mar 7, 2006

The Bottom Line: null
Review: This device does not work the way they state on the box. Either the wizard never finds the device or the software says it can't talk to it. It does print, but with only one way communications (two way is important when trying to see just how ink is left... Read Full Review by veaseyr, Jan 12, 2006

Not compatible with HP Laserjet 1000
Author's Rating:
Pros: Nice small form factor and 100 MB ports are great.
Cons: Not compatible with HP? Seems odd for a company like Cisco.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: This will not work with the HP Laserjet 1000 printer. It sees the printer, but can't communicate with it. Any PC's can see the printer also, but can't print... Read Full Review by wa7unw, Aug 8, 2005

Pros: Can't think of any.
Cons: Simply doesn't work. The worst con of all.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I have spent hours trying to make this device work. I tried two different ones; first was DOA, the second at least worked, but though it would print its own test page readily, I simply could not coax this thing to work with either an HP PSC950 printer OR...

Author's Rating:
Pros: If it had worked, it might have had many.
Cons: Difficult to set up, only works for a brief time after that.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: My first one ate its own power supply after a few days. Not sure what went wrong, so I exchanged it for another of the same model. Both the first one and the second one were invisible to the setup utility, but visible by using a web browser to connect... Read Full Review by trolletdad, Sep 29, 2004
