Great Little Print Server Nov 09, 2008
Buffalo Technology LPV3-U2 Network USB 2.0 Print Server
I purchased this product so I would not have to use one of the PCs on the network as a print server. This would allow me to shut the PC down when not in use. I attached it to one of the available ports on the wireless router and pluged in the USB to a Brother HL-1440 laser printer.

I'm not one for reading directions so I went at it without reading to see how easy it was. Well, I would encourage anyone to follow the directions. One of the key things is setting the proper WORK GROUP name and obtaining the print server's address.

One bit of information that I could not find in the furnished documentation, was the USER NAME for loging into the print server useing the browser. For your information, it's ROOT and it can't be changed.

Other than that, I found it works just great.

Excellent Win PC Setup Oct 09, 2008
Excellent Win PC setup for my home cable/wireless network.

Connected the cables and server to my wireless router (Buffalo) and USB printer and loaded up the software on my laptop (Win XP) as instructed. From box to printing in less than 30 minutes with some of that time eaten up by doing a printer driver search. Loaded the software onto my desktop (Win 2000) and was printing in less than 5 minutes.

Works great wired or wireless. Buffalo's the way to go.

won't work with multifunction printers Sep 30, 2008
It does not indicate anywhere that this print server can not work with a multifunction printer. In fact, even the manufacturer's own tech support didn't know. I spent over 20 hours trying to get this thing working until finally the tech support figured out the problem. It may be an excellent print server for regular printers, but buyer beware: if you have a multifunction printer - this will not work!

Avoid this trash May 26, 2008
Complete garbage. Forget about getting this to work with a Mac. You may be able to get it to work temporarily with Windows, but every time your printer is powered down you will have to configure everything all over again.

The manual is a bizarre joke, as if made for some other product.

Two one-hour calls to their clueless tech support staff both ended with the technicians giving up.

AVOID THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY.

Perfect on XP - took a while to get it working in OS X Apr 18, 2008
Well, now that it works, it's a nice thing to have :-)
After a lot of tinkering, I finally got it to work under OS X by activating AppleTalk.
P1 did show up in de printer list (as P1 Bonjour) and I was able to install the printer, but it never printed anything. The print job just stopped after a few seconds.
I then activated AppleTalk on my Mac (Tiger 10.4.11), installed the second P1 that appeared in the printer list, tried printing and still nothing happened (print job kept saying "printing"), so back to tinkering.
Then after about half an hour, suddenly the printer started printing the P1 AppleTalk printjob.
I then decided to reboot my machine and lo and behold, now it works perfectly.
So, Buffalo, please rewrite yer manual for this one.
