Rating: - What a piece of sh....
I cannot begin to tell you how poor the product support is for this piece of junk. It will NOT work with an OfficeJet of any kind - forget even trying to set up the printer as a multi-function device. I couldn't even get it to recognize the printer via USB cable.
No tech support to speak of, and the manual is pure garbage. Returning tomorrow to try a real brand.
DO NOT BUY THIS P.O.S.
Rating: - Useless Tech Support
I contacted tech support with an issue involving transferring a 4.37gb file.
The file crashes at 2.40gb. The person handlng the call couldn't help me. He indicated it would be two days before a high level tech support could get back to me. This nic card is used on a Mac using Leopard operating system and is listed as a compatible card.
It was suggested I email tech support with my problem if I wanted an expidited answer to my problem.
Rating: - Beware, doesn't work will all printers
One of the best examples of what's wrong with tech today. The Trendnet TE100 P1U packaging states that this print server will make "any USB printer into a network printer." False. After confronting Trendnet's tech support about why the TE100 P1U print server did not work at all for me, I was told that it doesn't support my type of printer! My type of printer is a Canon inkjet. As we know, Canon is a very rare and exotic brand of printer (sarcasm intended).
Rating: - Please Do NOT buy this junk
Oh my goodness this is a piece of junk. First off, nowhere on the box did it list what printers work with it. It makes it sound like anything works with it on the box.
Second, of the three printers in my house only one would work and of course it wasn't the one I bought it for. The other two were incompatible.
So I decided to move a bunch of stuff around in the house and get this thing working so I could use a laptop that we were using as a print server only for something ... Read More
Rating: - Decent Print Server For The Price
This compact little print server seems adequate and I've no complaints thus far except for the manual. It's worded correctly and the grammar is surprisingly good, for a change, and even the pictures and diagrams are helpful. However the instructions are flawed and I'm not sure how you could set up a printer via the method they describe. To save you some effort, if you're pulling your hair out with your 'P1U, instead of adding a printer as a "Network Printer", try this...
