Rating: - Great and Fast Print Server
Most will need help from Dlink link tech support to install but they are most helpful. Upgraded from a Dlink parallel print server. Prints fast!

I like the product and have recommended to others. I found it helpful that D-Link listed the tested printers. It's great to be able to print or scan from anyplace around the house as contracted to manually connecting directly to external items sitting in another part of the house.
