poor documentation - outsourced indian tech support, December 26, 2004
By Tracy Thibault (Santa Clara, CA)
ok folks here is my experience with this print server.
IT WAS A PAIN TO SETUP - but once I got it working it worked fine with no troubles so far.
I read the poorly written documention ( doesn't make any suggestions for trouble shooting ) as I followed it to a tee. My router could not even find the darn print server at all.
When calling the outsourced techsupport I had a hard time being patient with them as they answered my questions as if they were dancing around them. I don't expect tech support to know everything and I caught one not admitting he didn't know the answer. after I made a few more calls I got someone who actually spoke english well enough and knew what was happening. She was a much more pleasant experience. if you're having trouble with your router I would suggest doing the following before calling tech support.
1. turn off printer
2. unplug power from print server
3. (first time setup) Plug in an ethernet cable to server and plug in the power.
4. turn printer back on after about 10 seconds. (gives a little extra time to acquire an IP from the router, it helped)
5. run setup wizard from CD and follow your documentation from this point on.
6. after you tested the setup with your ethernet cable, turn off printer, turn off print server, unplug ethernet cable, plug in print server, turn on printer, test print, and Viola all should work fine.
if you have WEP settings be sure to have it handy before going through the process of setting up the print server.
if you need info about the print server itself (like the mac adress). while the printer is on you can hold down the reset button on the back of the print server to get additional info. the info will be sent to your printer and printed out.
Last, even though tech support sucked they all managed to slip me more info about problems with their hardware. I would suggest calling them if you don't get your product working within a reasonable amount of time.
my setup worked with WEP 128 and no trouble so far. Though I should point out that tech support did mention they are having trouble with multi function printers ( as in those that take pictures from your cameras and/or memory cards to print from.) and linksys is aware of it. She could not give me an answer as to why and pushed me to find current drivers for the printer.
I took the whole after noon to rebuild a wireless network for my parents. ALL linksys/cisco products. Personally I would go with a competitors products next time. Though I will give cisco a thumbs up for trying hard at staying in the home market.
I hope this at least helped a few people after readying this.

Not functional, December 24, 2004
By Ammar (Alexandria, Virginia 22309)
This item does not work with multi-fuction printers. The manual does not say that. So i thought it would work so i tried it out and it did not work. So i call ed Linksys and we went through some steps to fix the server which took 30 mins. then she said that she will transfer me to level 2 support what ever that is i was on hold for an hour. then the man on level 2 said that the linksys print server is not compatible with multi-function printer. he also said that Linksys does not make Print servers for mult-function printers.

Great Product!!! It works!!!, December 13, 2004
By destinpc (USA)
This print server actually rocks if it is setup correctly. Installation and setup for my wireless printing was just a breeze. I didn't encounter any problem at all. It print from the main computer and my laptops without problem at all....Thanks for the helpful reviews guys...It helps a lot. Linksys didn't provide adequate setup instructions for the wireless setup....Anyhow just make few changes to the default settings and it works.. Just give it trial and it will surely work for you... I took a chance on it and it pays off. I do not understand why some people are having problem with this equipment. My installation was easy as 123...It also works with my multifunction printer. So far I am using it on Samsung ml 1430 and sharp al 14 series and have not encounter any problem at all. I think it a great piece of equipment to have if you have more than one computer.

Incompatible with many USB printers, December 13, 2004
By Computer & golf Lover (Charlotte, NC USA)
I purchased the Linksys WPS54GU2 Printserver for USB 2.0 because it advertised compatibility with new USB printers and because it would accommodate both a parallel and wireless G printer connectiion at the same time. I found the documentation to be meager and disappointing. It took two phone calls to Linksys to get the thing installed. The second call concluded with the tech telling me this printserver will not work with a new Epson Stylus C86 and he "gave me the impression" it will not work with many new USB based printers! Once installed, I have only been able to print maybe 3 pages out of 30 attempts due to "Printserver Connect Failure"! I will be returning this product tomorrow!!!!
Information note if the shoe fits: From this experience, I found I don't even need a wireless print server. I need wireless to connect my notebook to my network, hence, I need and have a wireless router. Wireless on the print server is not needed because it connects to the network by connecting to the router by Ethernet!! Lesson learned.

A few little tidbits..., December 2, 2004
By Reader (Bay Area, CA)
If your computers keep dropping the Linksys network every five minutes or so, go to the authentication tab and uncheck the Ieee authentication box. This seems to clear up the dropping issue. This tab is two levels deep, first go to wireless adapter properties, then to preferred network properties for the network you are using. You should then see an authentication tab.
Configure the print server with a fixed IP; it does not seem to use DHCP well.
After you configure the server wired to the LAN, you have to unplug the power cord AND the LAN cord for a minute or so to get it to forget the LAN and switch to wireless. Don't press reset. Just plug the power cable back in after a minute and it will come up using the fixed IP you gave it and be accessible to your wireless network. Perhaps not obvious: don't plug the LAN cable back in.

Works fine - just install using these tips, November 27, 2004
By muhlen (Washington, D.C.)
After reading the mixed reviews for this, I still decided to try the Linksys Wireless Print Server. Although this is more expensive than the wired print server, I thought that it may be nice to locate my printers (one is USB and the other is parallel/USB) and wireless router in different locations. Neither printer is multi-function. I first tried a "wired" Linksys print server, but was unable to connect (2) USB printers using a hub - plus the price of the print server and the hub was nearly the same as the wireless device.
So far so good, but there are some things that I suggest you do when installing this device. These are based on personal experience, which has been a process of educated trial and error. An IT professional may do things differently, but if you were an IT professional, you probably wouldn't be reading these reviews. My network is almost entirely Linksys components (wireless router, wireless adapter, and print server), although I am using the network cards that were pre-installed with those computers that are hard wired to the router.
First, disable your firewall. This will allow you to test the compatibility of the printers, the network, and the print sever without the extra component to worry about. Once everything is up and running, you can enable your firewall and tweak any networking restrictions at that time.
Secondly, when configuring the router (which is the first step), you will need to have this "wired" to your router. This is part of the instructions, and should not come as a surprise. However, make sure you leave this "wired" until you have installed the print server drivers and software on all your networked computers. The install utility seems to have trouble finding the print server if you have disconnected the hard wire connection, even if the print server lights indicate it is already on the wireless LAN.
Thirdly, if you are using MAC address filtering, temporarily disable this. One you get the print server set up and running, you can find its MAC address using the web utility or the BI-admin utility, and then restore the filtering after adding the print server. However, if you want to use the web based configuration utility (like you use with your router), please follow the instructions in the following paragraph.
Fourth, once you have installed everything per the instructions, I recommend the following: give your print server a fixed IP address on your network (e.g. 192.168.1.171). My experience is this: If your router uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to your networked computers and servers, the print server does not always communicate back to the router, and your print server will sometimes "disappear" from your network after computers have been turned off and on. Something to do with the order the computers and servers are turned on. Setting this to a fixed address has cleared up those problems for me. Also, because the print server's address is fixed, you can access the web based configuration utility by typing in the same IP address each time.
Fifthly, find the MAC address using the web based or BI-admin utility. Now, if you are using these, reinstate your MAC address filtering, adding your print server's address to the allowed list.
Sixth, test and test again. Reboot your computers and unplug and re-plug your print server. Send documents to all your printers from all your computers - not just printer test pages. Print actual documents from a "Wordpad" or similar program.
Seventh, enable your firewall, remembering to enable access to your print server at the fixed IP address used above.
Eighth, test again just to make sure. If it doesn't work now, you know it's the network settings of your firewall.
This has seemed to work for me.

What a great product!!, November 17, 2004
By John Villarreal (Islip, NY)
I have a Linksys Wireless-G router running two Wireless-G laptops and a desktop (ethernet cable connection).
I followed the instructions thouroughly and breezed through the installation. All three computers were linked with my printer in less than half an hour.
After reading the bad product reviews I expected the worst with this installation. Now I'm telling all of my tech friends to go out and get one.
A couple of installation tips:
- make sure any firewalls are disabled for installation
- make sure your printer is installed on all computers before installing the print server.

Shame on you Linksys, November 7, 2004
By Chi Man (New York, NY United States)
I wasted alot of time on this product. I bought it because I wanted to detach my laser printer (Brother) from the family desktop computer (Sony VAIO) so I could print documents from my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) without having to turn on the desktop. I also use a Linksys wireless router as my access point to the Internet. Setting that thing up was its own horror story.
First of all, the directions that came with the product are terrible. You have to first connect the wireless print server physically in order to install it. Fine. But then nowhere in the directions does it tell you what to do in order to begin using it wirelessly. I had to look it up on a FAQ on Linksys' technical support website. I guess others had the same question.
The directions also don't tell you how to get your print server to communicate with your computer if it has a personal firewall installed (I use Norton Security). Not addressed on the Linksys website. I had to fiddle with the Advanced Options in Norton's firewall software. I only knew this because I went through the same pain setting up the Linksys wireless router.
Lastly, the print server doesn't yet support WPA encryption. It supports WEP 128-bit but WPA is much more secure. My Linksys wireless router is setup to use WPA. Linksys technical support said that I'd have to downgrade my encryption to WEP in order to use the wireless print server. They admitted that WPA was much better than WEP and recommended that I return the print server to the retailer.
I can't tell you how much time I wasted. Shame on you Linksys.

Excellent Product - 20 Minute Install - No Problems, November 1, 2004
By Technology Guru (Ontario, Canada)
I'd just like to start off saying that I've read all the reviews on this page. I usually base most of my online purchases from online reviews, but this time I'm glad I didn't. Here are the specs:
Me - 3rd Year Computer Engineering Technologist
Print Server - Linksys WPS54GU2
Printer - Lexmark E232 (Laser), USB
Computer 1 - Dell Latitude C600 (Laptop), 750MHz, 384MB RAM, Win XP Pro, Linksys WPC54G (Wireless)
Computer 2 - Compaq Presario (Desktop), 200MHz, 256MB RAM, Win 98SE, DLink 100MB NIC (Wired)
Router - Linksys WRT54G, 128bit WEP, MAC Filtering
All I did was take it out of the box and hook it up. Here is the first thing, YES, this IS a Wireless Print Server, BUT as you see I have a WEP key and MAC filtering. Any person in their right mind will be using some kind of security on their wireless network. If your not, then you've got worse problems. How could you possibly expect a device to connect to your wireless network right out of the box? Is it just going to KNOW your WEP key automatically? I don't think so. So you need some kind of hard wired way to configure it initially. So your options are for Linksys to put a RJ45 connection so you can hardwire it to your LAN OR put a USB connection so you have to install it as a device, configure it, then disconnect it and hope you got it right. PLUS, the wired connection allows you to use it as a wired print server, and allow the wireless to be used in AD-HOC mode for visiting wireless clients. This is not only cool, but it makes sense. So all of you that got upset because you had to hardwire it to your LAN, oh well. How about reading the product specs before buying something next time. Second, this unit is a PRINT server. Not a SCAN server or FAX server. So if you have a Multi-Function Printer, and you want to use the other features other than the printer, DON'T get a PRINT server. This isn't a Linksys, HP, Lexmark, or any other manufacturer defect. If you buy a print server, you want to use it for printing. If you want to scan and what not, hook it up to your PC and share the printer. You just need to understand that a DEDICATED PRINT SERVER is just that. It's not a PC; it's a little box that your printer plugs into. YES, there may be driver issues and stuff like that, but if it's that big of a problem, buy a dedicated printer. That's what I did. We've got our Lexmark X75 Multi-Function hooked right up to a PC, and the Lexmark E232 hooked up to the print server. It's quite easy to comprehend. Well I'm done my rant, here is my set up.
I plugged it all in. Ran the setup CD, entered my Static IP, WEP Key, and other specs into the print server. Tried to save the settings for a few minutes, and couldn't get it to work. Needless to say I wasn't happy. I almost became one of the many reviewers that gave this item a bad review. Then it came to me, I recalled seeing a note mentioning to disable your firewall. I shut down XP's firewall, and BOOM, the settings were saved. I then unplugged the print server and plugged it back in, both the Wired and Wireless lights were lit, and it wouldn't connect. As I soon figured out, if the wired connection is plugged in, it will get the Static IP and the wireless connection grabs a DHCP IP. So I unplugged the wired connection, unplugged and plugged in the print server again, and only the wireless light was lit this time. Still couldn't connect. This time it was my fault. I didn't enter the MAC of the Print Server into my router. Where did I get the MAC you ask? Well it's not on the bottom of the Print Server, it would have been nice, but it does come out on the test page that prints out when you press the reset button. Reset button?? YES, prior to doing anything you should have press the reset button down for a few seconds after your printer was plugged in. If it's compatible it spits out a page with various TCP/IP info and stuff. This should be your first step before trying to configure it or load drivers. After I got the MAC taken care of it was fine. So I already had the printer set up on my Laptop, so I ran the Driver Utility, it finds my printer, assigns it a port, and then you select the printer you already have installed (already has the right driver). Then it was all good. I turned my firewall back on and it printer fine. A test page and some other stuff. Next was off to the Desktop. This computer didn't have the E232 previously installed. So here's the process. Install the Linksys Driver utility, when it comes to the part to select the printer, add a new printer and use the driver for your printer, voila!!!, you get a port and your all set. I was able to print the test page and other stuff as well from this machine.
AND yes, you can print from wired and wireless computers when the print server is in wired or wireless mode. I'm not sure where somebody got this from, but I've tested both and they work fine. So here's the deal. I'm your typical, gotta have the latest technology, computer geek. So this was obviously something I 'needed' *lol*. If you're looking at this product, but are scared about these reviews, then do the following:
1. Buy it local, because if it doesn't work it's a lot easier to return.
2. Try the test page first. If you can't get that then talk to Linksys support.
3. Follow the directions. Don't try and pretend you know it all and mess up the install by skipping steps.
4. Read the reviews carefully. The ones that did get it to work had some very helpful hints that you won't see in the Linksys documents.
Also on another note, Linksys support is FREE. You can't expect them to be perfect. You get what you pay for. Yes they are outsourced to a call centre in India. So I definitely suggest the Link-Chat. I use it all the time and they are normally quite helpful, a little slow responding but helpful.
And this concludes my review. A Great piece of latest technology that make life easy. No dedicated computer for the printer, and no need to have it near a network jack.

Won't work with a Mac, October 29, 2004
By This is a rip-off (USA)
This equipment won't work with a Macintosh. Linksys Support told me that an agreement between Linksys' parent -- Cisco -- and Microsoft prohibited Linksys from supporting Mac computers. Whoa! I am still looking for the part of the product description which tells that Apple isn't supported. Didn't Microsoft learn their lesson? I guess not....

NOT plug and play, October 21, 2004
By Donna (Newport Beach, CA United States)
After MUCH effort I have gotten this print server up and running...I set it up with an HP Officejet 6110xi. The main issue here being the print drivers...for some reason it doesn't like the all-in-one drivers so you have to use the generic. At first I was told that I needed a print only driver but once I downloaded it I couldn't add a printer and get it to use the downloaded driver. Much easier to use the generic. I called HP and found out which driver in a matter of minutes and then it was rather easy. Use the installation tips provided by others...emphasizing the following...1)ensure that the SSID is the same on the printserver and router 2)per linksys print server support, the standard static ip address they use for print servers is 192.168.1.78 - change it later for security reasons but for set up I used their standard. 3)Once set up right click on printer icon; select properties; on ports tab select the printserver port and click configure port; ensure that the device port is correct - for some reason everything was set up correctly but it was trying to print to my paralel port rather than usb 4) selecting the "print directly to printer" rather than spooling option corrected a compressed printing problem
Once set up - working flawlessly. Print server is inside a closed cabinet in another room away from the router and works great even when I have laptop at other end of house. Finally - I can work in peace wherever I want.

Great - Easy to setup and to use., October 19, 2004
By reggers (New York, NY USA)
I don't know what some of these people here are talking about. I had the print server up and running in wireless mode in under an hour (start to finish).
I think that most people expect this product to do what it is not intended to do - this is to be used to just print (communication from computer to printer) - not to be used for other multi-function jobs (that require communication from printer to computer). This is a limitation of the current technology not this product The user manual clearly states this product does not support multi-function jobs that require communication from the printer to the computer (such as scanning, etc).
I use the printer with a Sony GRT170 laptop and a Canon MP730 multifunction printer. I have the printer and print server in a remote location in my apartment (so I don't have to look at the big bulky printer). I only use the print server for printing and in order to use the printer's other functions (scanning, etc) I use a USB switch (approx $20) and connect the printer directly to the computer.

INCOMPATIBLE WITH MULTIFUNCTION PRINTERS, October 9, 2004
By Randy Bennett
This product is impossible to install with multifunction printers like the HP PSC series. I spent two hours on the phone with Linksys tech support. They were unable to get this print server working and finally concluded that their product didn't support multi-function printers. Note that Linksys did not indicate this limitation in their advertisement for the product, in their spec sheet or in their requirements.
Don't waste your time with any Linksys product. Try another networking company and make sure that you ask BEFORE YOU BUY whether the product works with your printer.

Steep Learning Curve, October 1, 2004
By Kevin B. (Maryland)
My conditions: I am new at networking, but have significant experience in computer program, hardware and electronics. I do not otherwise have a home network. Wanted to set up ad-hoc - 2 computers (1 wireless, 1 ethernet) and 1 printer. Took a long time to learn how to set up but much of this is my inexperience in this area. First problem, which customer service could not figure out, is that I needed a cross over cable for the ad-hoc setup. No mention in quick or long version manual either. Then problem printing wireless when online (dial-in). Turns out to be Windows XP firewall (SP 1). Turned it off and got Zone Alarm - major improvement. Finally, everything works and works great! Good luck!

Very disappointing, October 1, 2004
By Mr. R. Campbell-jones (Huntingdon. UK.)
I have been attempting to configure pair of WPS54GU2s on a small hybrid (part wired, part wireless) ethernet network for about 4 weeks. I am attempting to configure the print servers wireless. The 'Quick installation guide' is useless, which, to be fair, is often the case with any device, but this time even the first activity doesn't work. None of the documentation, either on CD or on the site is any good and LinkSys support have not deigned to respond to my request for advice. Now I find out that these WPSs don't even support USB properly (if at all) anyway. I'm looking for an alternative. Avoid.

Linksys wireless G printserver WPS54GU2 inconsistent problem, September 5, 2004
By TC
I had high expectations to using the Linksys
Wireless G print server WPS54GU2 only to be
let down by its inconsistency and incompatibility
with my other wireless G devices with regard to
the WEP encryption.
The printserver does not generate keys 2, 3 and 4
using the 128-bit WEP encryption menu. In addition,
even if one manually enters the hexadecimal key
generated in positions 2, 3 or 4 from a wireless G
router (WRT54GS) into the appropriate key position,
the print server cannot choose any other default
transmit key other than 1.
The bottom line is that I could not connect this
printserver to my network when using a key other than
the first (1st) one (2, 3, or 4).
The only way to get this print server to work was
to change my keys for my router and any other
computers on my wireless network to using key 1.
I do not like to use key 1 as it simple to generate
it from other legacy linksys products of software
in the event the passphrase is compromised.
I am very disappointed with this product due to
the obvious inconsistency with Linksys' other wireless
G (and wireless B) products with regard to the WEP
encryption (128 bit). In addition, there does not
seem to be any support for the other encryption
algorithms (WPA, RADIUS, etc.) that the other Linksys
Wireless G products offer (WRT54GS, WET54GS5, and the
various Wireless G Utilities for the adapters).
The Linksys technical support is not good as it assumes
I do not know what I am talking about and support
tells me that I have to use key 1 despite that it is
inconsistent with the other wireless G devices that
can use keys 2, 3 or 4. That is the way it is and live
with it Linksys support tells me --forget full
compatibility with the other Linksys devices.
This wireless printserver is a pure hack, and something
Linksys pushed out the door in haste. I am going to
return this print server and go with Hawking Technology.
I forgot to add, Linksys confirmed for me that the 128 bit WEP encryption only generates 1 key (Key 1) and the rest will be all zeroes (0s). Although one can enter the key of one's choice into the Key 1 position (non-generated key, e.g. Key 4 generated from the router), the printserver will not be able to have connectivity to the network wirelessly because that key is out of position.
Linksys needs to get its act together. It would also help if Linksys technical support engineers could speak English better. It is a shame this type of work is outsourced to Asian nations. They are not helpful whatsoever. They assume the customer is the problem and does not know what he or she is doing when the issue is Linksys has developed a poor quality and inconsistent product.
I am returning this WPS54GU2 wireless G print server today and hopefully I will have better luck with the similar Hawking Technology wireless G print server(s) (2 USB and 1 parallel ports and 1 USB port for another type).
Very Disappointed,
Terrance

Great server, easy to set up and configure, September 5, 2004
By Len (Antioch, CA USA)
My desktop PC runs Windows 98SE and my notebook PC runs Windows XP (SP2). They are connected through a Linksys WRT54G wireless router (desktop direct cabled to router, notebook via wireless). I followed the instructions and setup was a snap. My printers are HP Laserjet 4 Plus (parallel), and HP Deskjet 970Cse (USB). After insuring everything worked while the print server was directly cabled to the router, I then followed the instructions provided in this newsgroup. I disconnected the LAN cable, and unplugged the print server, waited about 1 minute, then re-plugged the print server. When the server came back up, it was now wireless. Everything continued to work flawlessly.
I highly recommend this device.

Great server once you work out the quirks, August 26, 2004
By Big Gee (Orange County, CA)
Really this is very easy. Plug and play - almost. Just as long as you connect by wire to do the setup, disable all firewalls and follow the instructions. Make sure you have installed the printer driver BEFORE you set up the print server. Truely, it is a great system. I run a small home office with a PC and laptop so this frees up the need of having to run both at all times.
Great set, used with WCG200 combined Cable modem & Router - wonderful!!
Linksys Tech support is great too...if you can wait 20 minutes or more!

Beware of this printserver, hard to configure!, August 24, 2004
By P. L. MURPHY (VIRGINIA)
Server does not work with Compaq r3000t laptop with Broadcom 801.11g integrated wireless setup. After 4hrs. over two days with Linksys senior tech, it does not print from the Compaq. Linksys has no clue. Server is being returned to Best Buy.

Print queue problems with the WPS54GU2 wireless pr. srv., August 16, 2004
By war
Ongeveer een week geleden heb ik de WPS54GU2 aangeschaft. Na alles correct geinstalleerd te hebben, ben ik overgeschakelt naar de draadloze functie van de printerserver (stond overigens niet beschreven in de handleiding!!!, maar dat terzijde). Na ook alles draadloos werkend te hebben gekregen, heb ik een printjob uitgevoerd. Deze werd direct door de printer (HP Deskjet 5550) uitgeprint, maar nu het probleem:
Voordat de printjob daadwerkelijk uit de printer queue verdwijnt, duurt ongeveer 2,5 minuten! Met andere woorden: de printer kan pas met de volgende printjob beginnen nadat de vorige afgerond is, wat dus 2,5 minuten duurt. Dit is behoorlijk storend.
Voorbeeld: Ik zend een MS word bestand van 1 pagina naar de printer van 2,89 kb groot. De printer start direct met printen en is dan ook naar enkele seconden klaar. Echter in de printer queue staat bij de 'size' 2,87kb / 2,89kb. Na ongeveer 2,5 minuten is de size 2,89kb / 2,89kb en verdwijnt de opdracht uit de printer queue, en kan er pas een volgende printjob uitgevoerd worden!
Ik heb echt alles geprobeerd: alle WEP 128 bit encrypties uitgeschakeld (in zowel mijn router als PS). Alle firewalls uitgeschakeld, ook die van WinXP. Ik ook de printerserver via de bijgeleverde CAT5 kabel (netwerkkabel) op mijn router (WRT54G) aangesloten; exact hetzelfde probleem!
Ook heb ik al automatisch een IP adres laten toewijzen aan mijn PS, evenals een statisch ip adres (wat nu nog steeds het geval is). Ik kan de PS ook gewoon benaderen (via de web-based interface), ook draadloos. Dus de communicatie is goed zou je zeggen.
Het protocol wat ik gebruik is het TCP/IP protocol. Via netbeui heb ik ook hetzelfde probleem. De printer is overigens via USB op de printerserver aangesloten.
Overigens: als ik de printer direct op mijn pc aansluit middels een USB kabel, dan werkt alles prima!
