Check the Compatibility List First
6/7/2012 UPDATE: I have looked on their site and there is a newer list than the first one I posted. Although the PDF does not state the date modified, the index list says it was modified in Feb 2012. Here's the link to the newer PDF:[...] Here's the link to the index list of so that you can see if the list for the model has changed (be sure to find the correct model): [...] ORIGINAL POST: March 5,2009 I made the mistake of taking the product description at face value. It does not work with all printers, so check the compatibility list from Iogear's website first! [...] You may notice that the list has not been updated since 2007... so that tells you something. I have a HP Deskjet D4160 which a bought a few years ago (probably right after this list was created!) I was able to install the print server without any complication. I could ping it, I could log into the configuration page, but whenever I tried to print, the print queue would say "Printing" but nothing would ever print. After trying the IPP method and using a static IP, still no joy. Come to find out the compatibility list does not include any of the Deskjet D series and is two years old. Cutting my losses and not wasting another minute on it, I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon. My guess is that if I had a compatible printer it would work..but I'm not about to buy another printer in order to test that theory.
