Works with Dymo 450 twin Turbo on macOS
My use case is for Endicia for Mac. I use this to print NetStamps and shipping labels. I needed to replace a 10 yo MacMini used as a print server.
After configuring as described in the docs here, I added the printer to the mac. The "trick" here is to pre-install the software and printer on the mac via USB first, so the drivers are present on the computer.

Does not work
Does not work when in infrastructure mode. We have two of these and one works great while the other doesn't work at all. Exact same setup, SSID, and doesn't work.

Amazing tech support
Setting up of this print port for non IT gurus is not that easy - had to revert to the tech support twice. Took some time to figure out where my specific problems lay but the support guys were really helpful and all is well now.

This is not expected behavior for our wireless print server. The PM1115UW includes a 2 year warranty. We will be reaching out to perform some troubleshooting and, if deemed defective and within warranty, help facilitate a replacement.

Works on Xerox Phaser 6280!
After I was able to get it connected to my router (press WPS on your router then WPS on the print server) I had issues having my MacBook Pro recognize the device. I used chat support and Matthew was able to login and help troubleshoot the issue. I ended up connecting the printer to my USB hub to get to make sure the MacBook could recognize and print, then connected the ...

Great device but takes a product tech to install
I've had this for maybe a year and just called in to get help installing it on my new laptop. The device has allowed me to use a great electrostatic usb printer on my wireless network. It works flawlessly. It could be easier to install. Each time I need to install it on a new computer I have to call product support who promptly links to my PC and sets it up. Good servic...

Product is not ready.
Wi-Fi component is not ready. It can find an SSID in the next block but not 10 feet away (and it has two to choose from). Hopefully the unit has upgradeable firmware and will someday reach its full potential. Otherwise it is a just an Ethernet print server with higher price point than competing Ethernet print servers.

If I could give no stars I would
Worst product I have ever owned!! Nothing but problems. Numerous tech support calls, an RMA and many wasted hours resulting in lost productivity and lost revenue. It probably would have been cheaper for my company to buy a new printer/copier.

Works like a charm!
I'm really happy to to use this print server, it's easy to use and works pretty well with my old HP LaserJet 1018. The only one option it lacks is AirPrint compatibility. Do you guys plan to add AirPrint support for this print server? Thanks.

Works perfectly and backed by Fantastic Support
Yes it is slightly cumbersome to setup the print server. However once it is setup it works flawlessly. I have a USB printer and this was the only way I could connect it to my Chromebook for printing. Saved me from the hassle of getting another printer. Thanks StarTech. Also the support is very responsive and top notch.

Wireless N USB 2.0 Network Print Server
FYI. The Wireless N USB does not support a scanning function. I recently purchased this print server and the print function works very well. However, I mistakenly thought that it would allow wireless printing AND scanning. The helpful tech support person informed me it will only work with the printer. A scanner can not be connected. This is not StarTech's fault, but I t...

Just what I needed
I bought this last week and played around for a couple of days trying to setup. Used Support Chat and Lukas had me going in short order. My router had assigned the default address to something else which was causing the connection problems. Once that was determined I was able to setup and print from from a second laptop in a matter of minutes.

very unreliable
I have it installed and working with my HP Laserjet, but it constantly needs to be reset. It won't stay connected more than 10-15 minutes. It's very irritating. I do not recommend this unit.

Not for my Mac/HP Laserjet 1012
Disc included has only Windows installation instructions. No software or instructions included for Mac OS although product specs include Mac OS 10. This was just what I wanted and needed but I cannot make it work on my Mac or with my HP Lserjet 1012 printer.
