🖨️ Enhance Printer Connectivity with TRENDnet 1-Port Print Server TE100-P1U Review

Bought this print server to replace an old print server that is no longer working. I used to have a Linksys print server which was very annoying to set up, and then Tritton (now discontinued). I liked Tritton especially for its ease of use, setup and full configuration via a web browser by IP address.

This was probably one of the best and easiest print servers I have ever used. It was easy install, simple instructions. After unboxing, the packaging was intact and what was shown on the website.

I have an HP 1020 Laserjet printer and it is listed as compatible so I gave it a try. Well after spending a few hours trying to get this to work I finally gave up and got it back. I was able to see it on my network and install all the apps without any problems, but my printer status always showed offline and after further research I found that my printer is not compatible because it is not a "HOST" type printer. I emailed trendnet support and never got a reply, okay? I think you get what you…
