IOGEAR 1-Port USB 2.0 Print Server, GPSU21

This device only seems to work with PC and does not support airprint. Last firmware is from 2017 and there does not seem to be an update

This thing is brilliant and infuriating at the same time.Does it work? Yes but, I have experienced 2 problems.Problem #1 - Running on a Windows 10 Network, installing the printer as a TCP/IP printer, no issues, if you are the administrator. Minor issue, send a print job, Windows reports an error but still prints fine.If you are not the owner/admin of the computer, the problems come up. As a user, I can install the printer, but it won't print. I have to install as the owner/admin. However, sending a print job (a single copy) as the user and I start getting endless prints of that single copy. I have to power cycle the printer and this unit to get it to stop. Could be the way it communicates to the HP Printer, but this is a pain in the butt since I don't want the kids to be admin/owners on their computer, but would still like to grant them the ability to print their homework.Problem #2 is more of an annoyance. Randomly, this thing starts flooding the network with traffic like it's performing a DOS attack. Once we figured out what was going on, we just unplug it and plug it back in to get it to stop.

Califiqué a este producto antes con dos estrellas pero ahora lo reduzco a una sola estrella. Apártense de él. Este producto es de una tecnología vieja, no está actualizado y de hecho, el manual parece haber sido impreso hace años ya que el papel empieza a perder su blancura.1. El manual explica cómo usarlo... en Windows XP y Windows Vista. El cuanto a Mac OS, el manual solamente nos refiere a cómo dar de alta una impresora.2. El producto trae con CD de instalacion. ¿Cuántas computadoras modernas aún tienen lector de CD?3. Es necesario descargar el driver de este producto del sitio del fabricante.4. Después de dos horas de ajustes, logré que una Dell XPS imprimiera a una Epson L210 (compatible con este servidor). Para ello tuve que cambiar ajustes de mi WiFi de todos los otros dispositivos (23 de ellos).5. El sitio del fabricante es poco amigable.6. Volviendo al tema de Mac OS, la descripción del producto dice que funciona con OS 9.2 o mayor; en mi caso, no logré que funcionara ni con Catalina ni Monterey (en una MacBook Air nueva). La imrpresora se ve en las Macs, no imprime nada y además la ventana de estado marca error de conexión (indicador en rojo) mientras que la ventana de la impresora en la configuración del sistema tiene un indicador verde y marca "impresora inactiva".7. Soporte técnico: a) no contestan el chat en línea; de hecho marcaba que el primero en la cola era you pero en dos horas de estar esperando jamás contestaron. b) No contestaron a correos electrónicos enviados a dos direcciones diferentes. 3) Nadie responde el teléfono.8. CONCLUSIÓN: no compren este producto.

Well it was pretty easy to set up, however you need to install software on every darn computer you want to print with and it redirects your ports which take some time and energy to undo. I could already “share” the printer with Windows, I wanted to be able to print to it with my iPad and iPhone but I had issues with that, so I uninstalled it and the software everywhere, then played around trying to get things back the way they were, disappointed with it.

My wireless print server went electrons up. Trying to find a wireless server at a decent price was next to impossible, as they're rarely required any more.This one's wired, but, beggars can't be too choosy. A bit nasty to set up, but once I got the hang of it, life was good. It allows me use of the same old printer using 3 different Operating Systems. Can't complain about that!
