1 Star ReviewI wanted a print server to use with my USB printer ...
Strengths: None that I can tell.
Weaknesses: Worked with only 1 of 12 printers tried.
Summary: I wanted a print server to use with my USB printer (Lexmark Z65). Linksys claims that the PPS1UW is "compatible with virtually all" printers.

After receiving my second "bad" print server (as diagnosed by Linksys tech support), I tried it at Best Buy with 12 different USB printers from 4 different manufacturers (Lexmark, HP, Epson, and Canon), including another Z65. It worked with only 1 of the printers I tried (an HP model), and wouldn't even work with one of the printers that Linksys explicitly claimed would work (Epson Stylus C80).

I ended up buying a Hawking Technology PS12U, and that works fine.
