This USB print server is compact, inexpensive and does exactly what it was designed to do. It comes with a CD that has a utility to access and configure the device but I didn’t bother with that. The MAC address is printed on the bottom of the device, so after I plugged it in I went into my router’s config and looked at the list of DHCP clients to verify that it was connecting to my LAN properly. That gave me the IP address assigned to the device. I was then able to enter that IP address in my browser’s URL field and access the admin page for the print server. Later, I configured the router to assign a static IP for the device to make it easier to configure my printer. Once that was done, I just added a standard TCP/IP port in Windows’ printer config window with the assigned IP address, selected LPR as the protocol, accepted the other default settings, and the printer works perfectly. I’m using Windows 8.1 on my machine, but this device should work just fine with any version of Windows from XP to 10, as well as Linux, I would assume. The manual claims that this device will support other types of USB peripherals such as scanners, multi-function printers and storage devices, but I didn’t test that functionality, so I can’t comment on how it handles those other peripherals. If you need to network a USB-only printer though, it would be hard to go wrong with this little server.

Both the online literature and enclosed literature in the Box were in contradiction regarding wether my HP LaserJet p1005 printer would work I ended up calling Monoprice and they said it would definitely work both myself and my neighbor who’s a computer programmer tried it endlessly with mono prices suggestions and it still didn’t work piece of junk

Working with Win 11 (used Win 8 install). Don’t have CD on new PCs, was very hard to find old PC with CD to copy the needed application! No mention of the product name or ID to google for support.
Would not recommend

I bought to try and connect my HP LaserJet 1320 to my Windows 10 PC. It didn’t work. Setting it up was a breeze — simply plug it in, and it powers up and uses DHCP to assign an IP address to itself. The web UI is minimal. The included software appears to work for setting up a printer just fine, and is much easier to use than setting up LPR printers manually under Windows 10.
But whenever I went to print something, nothing came out of the printer. No lights flashed on the printer, so it wasn’t even receiving any data. The web UI is so simple it provided… zero debug information so I could tell what might have failed, or if it even received the document.
Guess it doesn’t work.
Note that the description above fails to mention two things: (a) the box and manual says it is only tested to work with versions of Windows up to Windows 7; and (b) there is a relatively short list of printers it is “compatible” with — and my LaserJet 1320 is not on the list.
Oh well.

I have ordered one it didn’t work at all in windows 7 (print crashes every time), windows server 2016 and 2019 printers won’t get added, these are mostly buggy software and not updated, better go with Netgear router with USB (readyshare print) cheaper and works flawlessly
