Fits Dymo Labelwriter 4XL BUT WILL BE PROFITABLE - START AND STOP

This worked perfectly for me. For those interested, it works with your Dymo labeller. It serves my Labelwriter 4XL. I almost deducted 1 point because it's difficult to get started with Windows, but it's a Windows problem when setting up a network print server, but I figured it out in 10 minutes so I didn't deduct. However, remember that you need to set up a network printer and use the software that comes with the Iogear print server to make it work, and you need to assign it a static address…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Useless features

I would like to give this unit a FIVE because once you set it up it works great. All the complexity is related to attitude. I'm a retired IT manager, so I'm not one to simply turn down a product install. It simply does NOT install as described in the manual. On Windows 10, it goes to the first level, but no print servers are identified as described in the setup guide, meaning you can't continue. I then went into safe mode a couple of times and was actually able to get past the first screen and…

Pros
  • nice little thing
Cons
  • for pensioners

avoid it - print server

UPDATE - 05/22/16 - So after a few months of use I am downgrading to 2 stars. To be honest, I've given up. It's just not reliable. You set it up and it works, and then it just doesn't work anymore. You remove and reinstall the printer and it works again. Reboots don't fix it. Restarting the printer does not help. Requires an uninstall/reinstall to make it work again. It's still on the table across from me as I write this. Next stop is probably the trash can next to the table. Works once you set

Pros
  • print server

Easy setup and installation on Windows 10 and HP LaserJet 1320

Easy setup and installation on Windows 10 and HP LaserJet 1320. The machine itself was easy to install. If you've ever installed or set up a network printer, you don't even need an instruction manual. but for beginners the booklet was detailed and easy to understand. The installation CD and software installation was also easy. He will guide you through the whole process. A few tips: 1) Make sure the computer that will be accessing the new network printer already has the printer driver software…

  • Computers and Accessories

Read reviews for installation tips

This was the highest rated USB print server I could find. With Windows 10, my older Cannon D530 printer lost the ability to print easily from other computers in the house other than the one that has a physical USB connection to the printer. I wanted to use my outdated Cannon D530 online again. Windows 10 does not support homegroups like Windows 7. After some trial and error I was able to print over the network using the IOGEAR print server. Here are my suggested steps.1. Make sure the printer…

Pros
  • Network products
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
