D-Link ethernet to parallel adapter Jul 23, 2010
This unit is super simple to implement and use. I have only heard one caution about it: do not try to update the firmware code, leave it be if it is working for you. This is the second one I have purchased in 2 years, so I am a return customer.

WASTE OF TIME & MONEY Jun 28, 2010
The DP-301P+ failed during initial configuration. D-Link support is terrible. They jump to conclusions and bombard the hapless user with dumb questions and irrelevant suggestions.
I mainly use a MacBook and thus I attempted to setup the DP-301P+ using the web interface. The print server locked up during the first configuration save and subsequently required a userid and password different from the default (I was locked out). I installed the DLink admin software(PSadmin) on my old PC which was running Windows XP SP3 and all updates. No luck - PSadmin could not 'discover' the DP-301P+. I could ping, scan and open an web browser session to the DP-301P+ from all my computers so I know the network was working. The DP-301P+ also passed all of its power on self tests.

I sent DLink an email explaining this and got back.
" Kindly verify this issue on other O.S like XP /Vista and check ." DUH??? I had already done this and provided detailed results.
They also sent along irrelevant instructions on installing third party print drivers that appeared to be cut and pasted from a KB article about problems another Mac user had with the print server.

OK so I tried the basics all one more time. And set them a new email explaining once again my problem was "I can connect but not login to the the DP-301P+. Thus the problem is that I can neither login to nor manage the DP-301P+. I have tried both PS admin and the web interface."

Their reply
"D-Link no longer supports the DP-301P. Since you are using a Mac, try using a different browser other than Safari."

Wow now it is getting plain silly.
I have a DP-301P+ not a 301P. The DP-301P+ is listed as a supported product at the Dlink web site at [...]
I had already tried a PC running Windows and IE8. Also firefox on the mac.

So once again I explained and emailed DLink.
It has now been over 24 hours since my email to Dlink. I gave up and returned the print server a little while ago.
The next one will have a factory reset button on the box.

Lack the hardware reset button Jan 07, 2010
It lacks a hardware RESET button. Maybe I should give it a four star, because you may not need it at all. For example, if you set a password, and then forget it, it will never ever be recovered, and you cannot change its configuration forever. And it is an expensive unit (about $60).

Doesn't work on Windows 7 Nov 24, 2009
Tried on 2 Windows 7 machines
Installed using the setup program but nothing actually printed from the machine I installed from.
On a second machine could be detected as a network printer but couldn't connect to it.
Support site requires registration but once that is done fails to redirect so impossible to raise problem with D-Link

D-Link DP-301P+ 10/100 Nov 03, 2009
My network card in my printer recently stopped working. Instead of changing the internal network card, I decided to get this print server instead and installed it and worked like a charm.
