## Overview

The HPS12U Print Server offers versatile connectivity with 2 USB and 1 parallel port, supports multiple servers and popular network protocols, and features built-in web management for remote configuration, making it an essential tool for streamlined office printing.

## Description

From the Manufacturer               The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) allows you to easily connect to any printer and print documents by specifying the device's URL. With IPP Technology, printing over a WAN or the Internet becomes much easier. You can send a job to a printer in another country just as easily as to a printer in your own office. Why use a fax to send information from office to office when you can print your documents directly from your computer to another out-of-office printer? The Hawking 3-Port (2 USB + 1 Parallel) Internet Print Server is extremely powerful and the most convenient way to connect your printer to a network. It provides a 10/100Mbps auto-sensing port, allowing flexible attachment to either 10BaseT or 100BaseTX networks without the need for a dedicated PC print server. The PS12U also supports multiple servers and multiple protocols, which will allow you to print from anywhere, from any computer and from any application. The PS12U not only gives network users greater flexibility, but also reduces file server load. This enhances both printing performance as well as overall network performance. You can place your printer anywhere in the network. There is no need to place your printer right next to the workstation or file server. Managing your PS12U is simple. The built-in Web Management feature will allow you to configure, monitor the status of and even reset the PS12U from anywhere via a web browser. Furthermore, the PS12U supports the most popular network protocols such as Microsoft NetBEUI, Novell IPX/SPX, Macintosh AppleTalk, TCP/IP, IPP which will allow you to connect the PS12U to any platform such as Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP, NT, NetWare, UNIX, LINUX and Macintosh networks.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ It's true - it's junk
*by J***S on December 13, 2006*

The installation software is useless. I can plug the unit straight into my PC or into a hub and the software still doesn't find the printer server. Call tech support wait a half a hour and finally get the thing up and running... (Tech support does seem VERY well versed in getting the thing up and running. I've called a lot, I know.) Within 2 days, the print server stopped working. It functioned intermittantly with a lot of fiddling for several months. Now it appears dead. Buy something else -- anyone have a recommendation?!?

### ⭐⭐ Flaky
*by J***P on October 8, 2004*

I was first worried when I installed the unit and it required my to install and run some server management software on my local computer. To me, the whole point of a network print server is to get something that is standalone and autonomous. The product often hangs and requires a reboot (unplug and plug.) When it does choose to work it is much slower than my last print server. I am thinking about ditching this product and buying the Linksys EPSX3 which I wanted in the first place, except its much more expensive.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Poor documentation
*by A***N on April 10, 2013*

I don't doubt that this is a perfectly capable product because I used it for a while until my printer died and I got a new one with built in network port. It was however not particularly intuitive to configure, even with sound knowledge of the subject matter. It is too big an ask for most home users! The issue came when wanting to reuse it several years later. Nowhere does the documentation or software describe how to reset to factory settings and start again, so the forgotten admin password presented a problem that seemed insurmountable. Prodding the recessed factory reset switch with the end of a paper clip didn't do anything, nor did powering the unit up with the factory reset pressed. In the end, persistence paid off: to achieve the factory reset, keep the factory reset switch pressed for 10 seconds or more. Then the power LED starts binking rapidly and the unit restarts in reset mode. Then it was reconfigured and printing again in a matter of minutes.
