We've used several of this same print server throughout our organization over the years. They are about as simple to setup and use as they come. Netgear has done a great job maintaining functionality and ease of use across most of their products but that is particularly true of their parallel to ethernet print servers.

Worked exactly as represented and converted the (HP-LaserJet-5L) Centronix printer to a Ethernet networked one.

Product worked as described and designed. I initially had trouble configuring the device but fumbled through it and got it to work.

I bought this by accident and didn't realize that it wasn't "mac compatible", but it turns out happily, that it *very* much is. I plugged it in to my network, asked by router what DHCP addresses it had doled out, went to the one that wasn't my laptop in Firefox and there's the config screen! Set the IP address, and I chose JetDirect for the network printer type and plugged in the IP address, set the printer driver and voila, working printer!

NETGEAR PS101 Mini Print Server
I started out going by the book by installing the provided NETGEAR administation software and using the PS101 on a LEXMARK T640, not on the list of approved printers on the NETGEAR website. The result was a working, but very slow printer with no bidirectional capability. I guessed that using the non-approved printer might be the problem, NETGEAR tech support was no help. All they could tell me was that "the printer is not on the list of approved printers", then I saw a review here and changed tactics altogther.
Uninstall the NETGEAR stuff, put the CD back into it's paper sleeve. Never take it out again unless you need to use it as a frisbee. Get rid of the \\PRINTSERVER\PRINTER port it so helpfully had you create. Reset the PS101. Turn on DHCP, turn the printer on, power up the PS101 and allow it to find an IP in your LAN, it probably will grab the lowest value in your allowed DHCP range (hint, pick a very small range for DHCP). Bring up the http page for the PS101 and assign your static IP, subnet, gateway, disable DHCP, save these settings. Go to the various PC's that will be using the printer with the driver CD that comes from the printer manufacturer. Install a local printer with a "STANDARD TCP/IP PORT", generic network card, adding the IP you assigned to the PS101. Use the appropriate driver from the printer's accompanying CD.
The T640's work great when connected this way, approved or not. The people using the various PC's and LINUX workstations cannot tell that the T640's are not connected directly to their machines. Windows Test Pages print and bidirectional communications work fine. Maybe they notice that the big gray cables are no longer cluttering up their space, and they meet coworkers when picking up their printed work. ALL GOOD!
