Review on Monoprice Networking USB Print Server by Scott Hall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Didn't work for me (software developer)

I bought to try connecting my HP LaserJet 1320 to a Windows 10 PC. It was very easy to set up - just plug it in and it powers on and uses DHCP to assign itself an IP address. The web interface is minimal. The included software is great for setting up the printer and is much easier to use than setting up LPR printers manually in Windows 10. But when I printed something, nothing came out of the printer. The lights on the printer weren't blinking, which means it wasn't even receiving any data. The web interface is as simple as it is designed to be. no debug info so I can determine what might have failed or if the document got at all. I don't think it works. Note that the description above fails to mention two things: (a) the box and manual say this has only been tested to work with versions of Windows earlier than Windows 7; and (b) there is a relatively short list of printers it is "compatible" with and my LaserJet 1320 is not on the list. OK.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
