This product uses the ID 192.168.0.1 which is the same as my home hetwork system. Therefore, the ID of the TrendNet product had to be changed. It took two days and four separate levels of technical support to finally get this unit to be recognized by my system. Simply changing the last digit to an unused number did not suffice. It finally became necessary to create a new TCP/IP port in order to access the print server.
I believe the instructions should provide a more complete installation information package.
This is not a unit that I would recommend for a person who is not very technically competent. It does work okay, however...

Although this product is not the most user friendly to set up, you can't beat the price compared to the Linksys device that will run you over $ 100.00 new, the very key thing to make this product work with your router, printer and computer is changing the IP address to 192.168.1.50, I almost gave up myself even when I talked to technical support, you have to change the I address in the software not on the website first.

This is a fairly basic print server with both Wired & Wireless capabilities. However, it is not exactly a simple plug it in, turn it on, and print sort of deal. It's a little more complex, but with some basic understanding of networks it's simple enough to get to work. After configuring the print server for my network & printer I still had an issue where it would not even print test pages from the device. However, this was easily fixed by changing the printer speed from High to Low for my LaserJet 6P.
I found the included software very lame and didn't work exactly correct under Win7 x64. I was able to get everything working by manually installing the printer.
1) Devices & Printers > Add a Printer
2) Add a LOCAL printer (You must select Local and NOT networked.)
3) Create a new port: Standard TCP/IP Port
4) Type the IP address you manually assigned the print server when you set it up.
The Port name can be whatever you want it to be. In my case I named it" LaserJet6P"
5) Select the correct printer driver. In my case I had to click "Update Windows" to have Win7 look for new printer drivers before I listed the correct one. If updating doesn't find the driver you require consult the manufacturer's website to acquire a Windows 7 driver for it.
6) Finish up and you should be good to go once it finished installing.

I brought this to replace a D-Link DP-311P that was driving a friend's Epson POS kitchen printer in his restaurant. The D-Link unit was trashed when the printer fell onto the floor, landing wireless printserver down.
Setting this unit up over a wired RJ45 connect was much more convenient than the ad hoc wireless setup on the old D-Link. I was a little befuddled at first, but eventually realized that the TrendNet unit kind of "fakes" being a Windows PC that the target printer is attached to, where the D-Link was more of a bridge.
Since the Epson POS printer used the standard GENERIC driver, I didn't need to install the printer driver on each machine on the network. But if this one fails, I'll replace the parallel card in the Epson with a USB interface and go with a more mainstream print server.
