Review on 🖨️ IOGEAR GUB231 Black: High-performance 2-Port USB 2.0 Automatic Printer Switch by Jessie Ritchie

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Auto Switch DOES NOT WORK

This is a great switch that allows you to use two computers for one printer. a/b switch. The problem is that although it is advertised as "automatic", it is NOT an automatic detection. You have to press the manual switch so that it recognizes which computer or laptop you are currently using. I've spent hours with their tech support jumping around so much I think I have a tattoo on my a** that says Spalding! Излишне говорить, что они сказали, что больше ничего не могут сделать, это "проблема с компьютером", поэтому я позвонил в Dell, и они удаленно взяли под контроль мой компьютер, сделали все возможные диагностики и подтвердили, что моя система работает на 100% in order. This is definitely a hardware issue, but IOGEAR hardware. Just to make sure - I actually tried this on 4 different laptops and 1 desktop. Yes, I have several systems at home for family needs. They all worked perfectly when manually flipped a switch, none would do it automatically.

Pros
  • No external power required
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
