First one that actually works with a MAC!

Written: Dec 30 '04
  • User Rating: Very Good
  • Ease of Installation:
  • Ease of Use:
Pros:Works with Mac OS and Windows. Has a real users manual!
Cons:Doesn't work with classic applications in OS X
The Bottom Line: If you are using Mac OS x and Windows machines and have a post script printer get it, it actually works! If you're just using Windows it also works great.

If you are looking for a print server that will actually support the Mac OS as well as Windows this is it! The only draw back is you must have a post script printer to use it with a Macintosh.

I have tried configuring 4 different print servers to use on my home network with Macs and Windows machines and this is the only one that I could get to work.

The only problem is that when running classic applications in OS X the print server doesn't work. The suggestion that I got from their tech support was that I print to a PDF file then open that and print. It's definitely not the most elegant solution, but it will definitely work for me.

Besides for the little problems I had I really like this little print server. The other thing that I did note about a lot of the other print servers is they do tend to get a little hot. This one doesn't so that is another plus for this one.

As far as configuring with Windows I had no problems.

Also if you are looking for a print server with real documentation this is the only one with a real user manual with installation instructions for BOTH windows and Macintosh.

Recommended: Yes
