Good way to reclaim lost printer if you've upgraded

byking10000 Jan 9, 2004
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Somewhat undocumented features are pretty powerful
Cons Not for the faint of heart, requires some trial and error
Recommended it? Yes

This solution seemed to be the one I've read the most positive reviews about. I have a PC and an iMac at home and have been wanting to share my HP LaserJet 5MP between the machines. Another issue was that my iMac didn't support the older style communication style that are on the printer, but it is... Read full review »

Netgear's PS101 A Solid Option for the Technically Minded

bywhw3whw3 Aug 21, 2003
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive, easy to configure
Cons Limited technical support
Recommended it? No

While pricing made this product very attractive, and configuration was a breeze, the slightly larger-than-a-print-cable-connector size of the product could make it chancy to install on your printer. Its internal cache is only 256KB, so if you want good performance you must have plenty of RAM in... Read full review »

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small size. Out of sight, out of mind.
Cons Configuration loss after power reset.
Recommended it? No

Well it sounded too good to be true.. and it is.

I will tell you why I'm returning this product:

when you unplug it, let's say, to move the device and printer to another location in the office..

IT LOSES ITS CONFIGURATION.

Then - you have to weed through the... Read full review »

Lasted about a month before failing

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small and inexpensive.
Cons Failed way too soon.
Recommended it? No

I've used a significant amount of Netgear equipment and I was very disappointed that the PS101 failed. Even though the lights Look OK, it doesn't respond over the network. Switched out with known working cable and printer. Still didn't work. NOT impressed! Old SOHOWare still works....

Limited support and poor reliability

byrob_914 Dec 13, 2003

Pros Price
Cons Reliability Support
Recommended it? No

After purchasing this print server 73 days ago, it quit working with Windows XP Professional 59 days after installation. I contacted NetGear support and the only solution they could find to make it print was to reinstall the print server after every reboot. A print server is supposed to be an... Read full review »

may have problems printing from windows xp home edition

bycomputergeek07 Oct 11, 2003
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros easy installation, technically sweet.
Cons unknown windows/drivers problem on some machines.
Recommended it? Yes

My printer is an Epson Stylus C82. The Netgear PS101 is
a wonderful technical solution to the problem of turning
this into a network printer, where it performs much better
than it did as a USB printer connected to a Windows XP
Home Edition PC.
