Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Enhance Network Printing Efficiency with Buffalo Network USB 2.0 Print Server - LPV3-U2 by Kadarius Gentry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was worried after reading all the recent reviews but everything worked out.

I'm not a computer genius, but I don't usually read setup guides. So here is what I did to set up my printer with this server. I have a Netgear router that I use for my broadband network. After connecting all the necessary cables, I simply logged in [.] remembering your username and password. Then I just clicked on "Connected Devices". All devices that are connected to your router with MAC addresses are displayed here. Locate the print server and note the IP address assigned by the router. Now go to "Printers and Faxes" in the Control Panel and click on "Add a printer". Select "A local printer connected to this computer" and uncheck "Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer" under Local or network printer. Click next. Then select "Create a new port" and "Standard TCP/IP port". ." Click Next. Enter the IP address you received earlier from the router. Make sure your printer is turned on. I did that and it worked for me. Surprisingly, I found out that MFPs aren't supported after worrying it wouldn't work with my Canon MF3220 multifunction printer.The printer isn't the most expensive but the server worked with it.I guess I just have to be careful about which drivers to use. I found that there are several different fax and scan drivers for the MF 3220, I just used the default printer driver and the server ran like clockwork.
