Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Motorola/GI 512723-001-00 802.11G Print Server with USB 2.0 by Philip Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with Mac OS X!

This is the only wireless print server I could find besides Apple Airport Express that has the following features:*Mac OS X compatible with any printer (including non-postscript)*Supports WPA encryption*USB 2.0*802.11g I've followed the instructions for printing LPR with a static print server IP (this is explained in the attached PDF manual) and everything works great. Now everyone in my house can use the same printer wirelessly. UPDATE: I did not pay for what this item is currently selling and if the price is close the Apple Airport Express would probably be a better buy. Motorola's new firmware replaced one security incompatibility with another, but it can be made to work with quite a bit of effort. The advantage of the Airport Express is its wireless music streaming via the audio jack (and also as a wireless access point). The Motorola print server can connect to 2 different printers here assuming one is a USB port and the other is a parallel (LPT) port. Neither the Apple Airport Express nor the Motorola Print Server can handle multiple USB printers connected through a USB hub.
