I have two of these running at different customer on Canon Pixma printers. I haven't heard any complaints so I guess they're still working. The range through a thick wall wasn't all that wonderful so I had to install a reflector on one of the units. Setup was quite simple once I resigned myself to actually reading the instructions.

The shame of it!! :-)

"'Nel'" hath wroth:

Reading the instructions is only shameful if the customer sees you doing it. They usually wonder if I know what I'm doing. I'm expected to know everything and I certainly don't want to give the impression that I might not.

However, this is different. If the product were any good, it wouldn't need any instructions. It would be intuitive, obvious, and organized. Perhaps a wizard to walk me through the basics so I don't miss something. Well, we're almost there with router setups, but we have a long way to go with print servers. The problem here is order and sequence. What's your guess? In what order do I: - Install the HP printer software - Install the Print Server software - Configure the print server (web based config) - Configure the Windoze printer settings. With HP software, if you guess wrong, you get to uninstall literally everything, reboot and start over. If you want to add something later, you get to uninstall literally everything, reboot, and start over. If the software can't find the printer, you get to uninstall literally everything, reboot, and start over. If you sneeze during the install, you get to uninstall literally everything, reboot, and start over. Getting the picture? There's a point were even my pride in never reading the instructions breaks down in the name of expediency.

Instructions are for sissies.
