Dose what it says it will, in a very basic manner

Advantages: small, dose the job
Disadvantages: gets hot, prints a little slow, over priced for what it is

Normally i dont like Belkin products they often dont do what they promise and are usually hard to set up, this one dose however do the job and in fact was easy to set up. I do use a Belkin router which perhaps helped. I just followed the quick start sheet stage by stage and the unit worked first time. I did not need any additional drivers from the printer disk (hp all in one 100 series) .Print start is quick but printing is a little slow. Belkin ...
...only) but no USB cable (needed to link the printer during use) which is a mistake in my view. Like many of there products the unit gets quite warm and may act up when over hot as some of the other products do, Biggest problem is (perhaps not one everyone will have) my printer has only one usb port but i want it connected to both my desktop(by cable) and my laptop (by wireless). Can i use a usb hub as a splitter or not? only a test will tell the manual ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G All-In-One Print Server Print server

Print server shananagins.

Advantages: Simple, Effective, cheap
Disadvantages: None as far as I can see

...As you would expect from Belkin the device is well made and the manual makes a lot of sense. Be aware however that not all printers are supported by the system, I had some trouble getting firmware updates to allow for my Laser printer to work on it - however Belkin have provided these on their website. The device asks that you have the printer drivers already installed on your PC when you install the Belkin software, this isn't like normal print ...
...settings for it. Then the Belkin drivers work well. Given the way this print server works it is not directly compatible with either Linux or Macs. For Macs the solution is simple, just search online for some drivers and thou shalt receive. Im using a print protocol called GiMP, this claims to work under Linux variants as well, though I haven't tested this. Overall the device is good, it connects well to wireless networks and can use the wired connection ...

Review of Belkin 802.11g Wireless Print Server

Belkin Bluetooth Wireless USB Printer Adaptor

Advantages: Fast, easy printing, recognises anything Bluetooth-enabled.
Disadvantages: sometimes fails to recognize USB device, other than that, NOTHING!

Hi guys! Well, this basically does what it says in the name. You can connect to your USB printer wirelessly from your PDA, laptop, phone (or PC if you really want). Ive had no major problems with it, but sometimes my laptop fails to recognize the adapter which tends to annoy me quite a bit ,especially if im running quite late and need to print off some last minute documents. Its a really great help to me, as i work abroad a lot and its a breeze to ...

Review of Belkin Bluetooth Wireless USB Printer Adapter

HP Wireless G 2101nw - an embarrassing waste of my time

Advantages: None. It does not work for any length of time.
Disadvantages: Setup is not quick. Product gives up the ghost and does not reconnect. Telephone support unhelpful

hp 2101 nw I bought one of these for a friend/customer of mine, to make his life easier printing from his new wireless laptop. He has a standard wireless router that works just fine. He has an HP printer that has worked just fine for ages via USB cable with his desktop PC, but with the addition of his new laptop to his house, a wireless solution that could be shared by the desktop PC and the new laptop was an obvious choice. I even phoned HP to ...
...reconnect. Only a full re-instal will repair it - but only temporarily. HP tech support have been their usual inept selves and finally concluded that there is a known problem with XP SP 3 and suggested downgrading to SP 2. Excuse me? I shall never buy HP again. ...

Review of HP Wireless G 2101nw

I would go with a different print server

Advantages: Good web interface, does what it says on the tin
Disadvantages: Hard/slow to install, a few bugs, expensive

This is a fairly expensive, but simple, printer server. With this print server you can easily share a normal printer over a network. You can then printer from this printer without having to have any other computers in the network on. Setup is easy for the server, but it can take 20-30 minutes to follow the advanced instructions and set this up on each computer in your network. Once it is up, you can manage the settings and connect to it using the ...
...settings and reboot the server and manage the print queue. A few disadvantages are that it is quite expensive for what it does and any extra printer functionality such as a scanner is lost when using the server. It also seems to have a few bugs causing things to not print or it will stop responding. But overall it is a fairly good product. ...
