Product Description:
The Hawking HPS1U USB 10/100 Print Server is a powerful and convenient tool to connect your USB printer to a 10/100M Network. The Hawking HPS1U combined with the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) lets you easily connect to any printer and print documents by specifying the print server's IP address. With IPP technology, printing over a WAN or the Internet becomes much easier. You can send a print job to a printer in another country just as easily as sending a print job to your home or office printer. IPP eliminates the need for fax communications between offices by simply printing an original document over the Internet and sending it from one office to another without the degradation of image and text quality that fax machines produce. Why use a fax to send information from office to office when you can print your documents directly from your computer to another out of office printer?

- Yes, a POS
I tried installing this on 2 different systems (IBM laptop running WIN2K and a home built running WIN XP Pro, and 2 different printers.In all cases it: 1. did not work at all.And 2. caused my CPU usage to lock to 100% making the computer slow to a dead crawl.Even after attempting to uninstall the software, I had to resort to a system restore to make the computers usable again.Calling tech support was of no use.I wasted DAYS on this P.O.S.It made me feel good to crush that thing in a 4" ...

- Good 1-port printer server for home-based business
I bought this thing a few years ago and never got it to work on my wireless router.I picked it up today and decided to try again.Using the PrintServer Utilities software, I entered the default user access, admin/1234, to change the HPS1U to auto IP address and hooked it up to my wireless router.No IP address.Bummer.Well, call it operator error -- turns out I had never added its MAC address to the MAC address filter list on my wireless router.Added its MAC address and Voila! a new IP address ...

Rating: - Simply doesn't work
Trying to share my Canon S520 between a Linux box (Suse 10.0) and a Windows XP box using IPP (TCP/IP) and SMB.Neither one works more than 15% of the time.No new firmware since 2005.Seems that Harking also gave up on this print server.Too bad.It looked like it had such potential, but the darned thing just doesn't work.

- Setup instructions below, pain to setup but works
I gave it 5 stars because I was able to get it running I hope my review will help others with the setup of the Hawkings print server.
After struggling with the setup of this small print server, I will tell you the secret to setting it up quickly and with little head ache as possible. The secret is to know the default IP address of the print server. Stupid tech support told me it was 192.168.1.250 ... wrong. I had to use angry IP scanner to find the real default IP address.

Rating: - Does What it says it will
This miniture gadget does what I expected it to do. Works great and no problems so far. Just make sure to install the printer on the Internet Print Server Port or you'll have a hell of a time making it work.
