Review on Gigabit USB 10/100/1000TX IPV4/IPV6 USB 2.0 Print Server with Enhanced SEO by Keith Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I've finished working on it - don't worry

As far as I can tell there are no instructions. Could these people creating multilingual documentation combine all English? Am I asking that much? I'm not sure I found all the documentation in English. What I found wasn't very helpful. I have three USB printers. HP 1020, Cannon iP3500 and Samsung CLP-310. I've done the setup as best I can and only the Samsung CLP-310 works (well, I just printed a test page). I'm wondering if it's worth a sequel. I spent a few hours getting what I did and I want all three printers to work, not just one. Is that why I bought a three-port print server? A big disadvantage I see is that you have to connect the printer to your computer to install the drivers. Isn't that how most USB printer setups work these days (which is so stupid)? Once the drivers are loaded, you need to create a TCP/IP port and change the printer to print to that port. There is a print wizard, although it doesn't work for me. It says it can't find the SEH print monitor and that the print monitor needs to be loaded first. So I ran the Print Monitor install, and you know what? I have the same error. With this you can search for sehmon*.exe but I could not find this file on my computer at all even after searching the whole C drive Update – 11/01/2013 I gave up and returned the print server for the following reason: 1- Of the three printers I have (HP 1020, Cannon iP3500 and Samsung CLP-310) I was only able to get the CLP-310 to work. 1 of 3 doesn't work 2 - I'm not sure how you're going to install printer drivers for printers that require the printer to be attached to the computer you're installing on. Therefore, you must physically connect the printer to a local USB port at least once to download the drivers.3 - The print assistant is no good. I searched for the sehmon*.exe file but couldn't find it even after installing Print Monitor4. Bad documentation. I have never found any documentation, either printed or on CD, that explains the entire process of setting up the printer. Maybe the printer wizard should have helped, but it didn't help.
