Review: Simple and Effective - Having looked for a print server for an ancient, but reliable, LaserJet 5L printer I finally decided to go for the TP-Link. I'd read reviews of other devices saying that they only supported one printer at a time, kept dropping off the network, were complex to setup, so I was a little nervous. I also have a very mixed set of machines, 2 XP, 1 Win 7 and 1 Mac, which also ruled out a number of other models. However, it all turned out to be pretty easy with this piece of kit. You will need a Windows machine (and yes, it supports Windows 7, which was good news). I simply plugged it into the back of the printer, put my network cable in and ran the installation disc. It does say for you to have the IP address of your router handy (it's usually 192.168.x.x and if you don't know it go into the router setup page, or look at the manufacturers website) and it then suggests an IP address for the printer on the network. It sounds complex, but it's really straight-forward. If you already had the printer installed on the machine, it detects it and that is pretty much it. If not (and I didn't), you install it using the 'Add Printer' menu (it says to install it as a local printer and to use LPT1, which works fine). Setting up the Mac was even easier. The server has AppleTalk built into it, so just hitting the '+' button in 'Printer & Fax' menu brings it up as a printer to add, click on it, job done! The XP machines were a little more involved, having to add the printer manually. You won't see it under 'network printers', instead you have to configure a port and type in the printer's IP address. Again, it's in the instructions (if a little buried in the manual), but it's simple to do when you know how. Multiple machines can be on and all access the printer at the same time. There is a web interface where you can access reports such as what jobs were sent to the printer and when and set up detailed and complex parameters if that's your thing. Print servers can be a little temperamental if you loose your internet connection, or re-boot your modem or router. It survived both. All in all, simple, effective, cheaper than a lot of other models - what's not to like!
Review: Works for me! - I wanted to make a Dymo label writer which is a USB device available as a network printer. I run a business from home and have a network comprising a couple of PCs, a network printer and an NAS hard drive + numerous wireless devices including laptops, smartphones, Ipads, etc. The TS-PS310U is not strictly a print server, rather it is designed to make USB devices shareable on a network. Because of USB limitations, only one computer can access the attached device at a time but the supplied software handles this by connecting to the printer only when a print is requested and disconnects immediately that has happened. In practice that has not given us any issues at at all but I am not sure what would happen if there were more users with conflicting demands. After a simple wiring hook-up, set up is easy with the supplied software required to be installed on each computer, including wireless laptops. In our case we then simply pointed the Dymo label software at the correct printer. One little thing I noted was that as the software was installed on each computer it showed other the computers a shareable version of the printer as though it was hooked up to that machine as well as the networked version. It was simply a case of using windows device manager to delete the local versions leaving only the network version of the printer. This avoids any issue with the Dymo label software looking at the wrong printer. One other issue is that network devices such as printers or disk drives really need fixed IP addresses (as opposed to having them assigned by DHCP) and the TP Link software made this easy to do. I have read some reviews suggesting there are issues with the TL-PS310U when connected to a USB hard drive but that was not what I wanted it for. For my simple purpose in making the simplest of USB printers a networked printer independent of needing any particular computer switched on, it worked flawlessly so five stars from me!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with the Dymo Labelwriter series printers?**
A: I don't think so http://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/TL-PS110U_V2_CompatibilityList_160315.pdf

**Q: Would this connect a USB HDD (FAT32) to my home network so I can copy movie files from it to a networked back up drive -then delete the originals?**
A: I have used this item as both a print server & to network a windows HDD for use with windows XP, the software supied to make access possible is a bit clumsy, but if you set it so it doesn't automatically go to sleep after a couple of minutes it does the job. Hope this helps 

**Q: Is this compatible with windows 10**
A: Yes.  It's compatible with any TCP/IP based communications including those from all Windows OS, Linux, Mac, all major games consoles, YouView and similar devices, and many modern TVs too.

**Q: compatible with windows 8?**
A: Well we set it up on a Windows 7 machine but connected to that machine on XP / W7 / W8 machines to print, using the computer as a print server.  Could not say hand-on-heart that it works with W8 but cannot see why not.  Better though to buy a wireless printer which is what we did when we replaced the printer.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Device adequate, software awful. Intended for a single Windows PC only.
*by A***A on 10 November 2016*

The product does the job required. However: the manual says it has a default address of 192.168.0.10. It fails to mention that by default DHCP is enabled. Secondly I installed the software supplied (Windows 7). Big mistake. There's a web interface that does what is needed without the software. From this point on other computers could print via this device, but not the one with the software loaded. The software hadn't configured the printer, and it seems to have taken over the printer for itself so I couldn't configure it. I tried to uninstall the software. There's no uninstaller supplied, but re-running the installer has a "remove" option. That failed. I ended up having to reboot into safe mode and using System Restore to undo the installation. Once that was done, I could print to it. An hour and a half wasted. More investigating shows that you have to manually connect to the printer using the supplied application, which then locks any other computer out until you manually disconnect. Rubbish. Fortunately there is another way. DO NOT install the software. In Windows connect by using Add a Printer, choose Local printer, TCPIP port, and add the TCPIP address. (You will need to fix the address, either manually or using a DHCP reservation). Then CHANGE the protocol from raw to lpd, and set the queue name to raw. This type of setup connects, prints and disconnects automatically. However while it's printing, attempts to print from other computers may get errors. The major downside of this method is that you only get access to a connected printer. For a multifunction the other parts (scanner, card slot etc) are not available.
