    Flawless
    Easy installation. Works perfectly. No firewall concerns or other problems. Just plugged it in and started printing!

    What do you mean “turn off your firewall”?
    I purchased this product and 2 hours after opening the box, I was taking it back. Initial setup seemed to be easy - just plug it in, load up the software and supposedly away you go. Nope. To even get the software to see the print server, I had to turn my firewall off - not just drill a hole - turn it completely off. Then, once I turned off the firewall and could actually see the device, I couldn’t print to it - I got the very useful error message of “Connect to Failed!” So, I called TRENDNet support. What a disaster that was - the guy couldn’t understand why a device hooked up to my switch didn’t show up in my computer’s device manager. When I explained this was an external device hooked to the network, he said “Oh.” and put me on hold, only to come back a few minutes later to tell me that I would have to leave my firewall off for good. When I objected to this idea, I was told that support would call me back “in 48 hours”. I told him not to bother and hung up.

    Great Print Server
    It did exactly what is advertised. I love not having to keep a PC running to have to print

    Worked like a charm
    The only regret I have at the time I purchased this is that I didn’t see that there was a $20 rebate for the 2-port version bringing the price to about the same as this item. Installation was relatively easy. They have a utility to make it easier to install but I didn’t have to use it. XP and Vista had all the drivers I needed. I’m able to print on an HP printer via my Windows XP computers that are “wired” to my network and my Windows Vista laptop that’s hooked up wirelessly. I didn’t connect this to a multi-function printer that so I can’t comment on the scanning or faxing.
