Linksys WPS54GU2 Wireless-G print server user reviews

Pros Built good.

Cons Unit is built very solid. Works with my HP laserjet,not with my HP2410. One rep says it will, another says it won't. We need support from Corporate Site on US Shore

Pros Parallel port worked

Cons USB doesnt work with my printer

Summary I think it is rather irresponsible of Linksys not to put a disclaimer to check for compatibility of your USB printer. I was told that my printer was not compatible based on their internal list. I told the support tech it is Linksys responsibility to post this list because this is now a very expensive paperweight. I have a HP Photosmart 7960 which was not detected by the USB port. I had an old HP deskjet 612c which I connected to the parallel port and it was detected. I can print from that but the idea was to have both printers. The troubleshooting section is no value whatsoever. You have to be remarkably ignorant of networking in general for it to be of any use whatsoever. The wireless was fickle in the initial setup but I had it running after 30 minutes and one hard reset as describe in the CNET review. I bought this unit solely on Linksys's reputation and my past experience with their products. This has been a major blemish and a disappointment. At $130 when I bought it this has been a complete waste of money. Linksys lost a customer.

Pros None

Cons I had high expectations to using the Linksys Wireless G print server WPS54GU2 only to be disappointed by its inconsistency and incompatibility with my other Linksys wireless G speed booster devices with regard to the WEP encryption. The printserver does

Pros Easy installation, trouble-free printing from any computer in the house

Cons Can't think of any
