Review on πŸ–¨οΈ StarTech.com Ethernet to USB 2.0 Print Server - Windows 10 Compatible - LPR - LAN USB Print Server Adapter (PM1115U2), Black by Julio Montano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works with macOS and HP LaserJet but has issues

To start with what I like about this print server: - It supports Bonjour, which makes it easy to add - It's small and easy to plug into a switch - It works (with problems) Now I'll address the problems: - Web Admin does not support firmware updates - Firmware updates can only be performed via Windows - The print server is not available if it has not been used for a while, but eventually connects and prints. You'll need to update the firmware, which means if you don't have a Windows PC, you'll need to borrow one or install Windows virtually using Parallels or VMWare. I used Parallels with Windows 10 to update the firmware. In general it works. It's just that sometimes it prints slowly if it hasn't been used for hours or days, but it prints eventually.

Pros
  • PRINT FROM ANYWHERE: Print from any computer connected to your local network. This print server does not require a wired connection to a computer, but you must connect the server to a network device (such as a router) using the supplied RJ45 network cable.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
