D-Link DP-301U Ethernet Print Reviews

REVIEW BY: nh Reviewed Apr 28, 2006

I have been using a DP-301U for about 8 months to support an Epson RX500 all-in-one printer. It has allowed me to share the printer amongst multiple PCs without having to dedicate a PC as a print server. The other major benefit is that I was able to implement InkSaver (which only supports locally-attached or IP-connected printers), allowing me to significantly reduce ink usage (draft mode on the Epson is unreadable).Setup was straightforward. I have only encountered one problem - the print server does not properly handle the print stream generated when I specify double-sided output. D-Link has been looking at the problem but has not yet provided a fix. As a bypass, I print the odd pages, flip the paper, then print the even pages.

After 7 months, it just died. Online reviews say after a while you need to disconnect/reconnect the power each session just to get it to connect to the printer. D-Link DP-301U Ethernet Print Server worked for a while, then.. nothing. All other connections are ok. D-Link DP-301U Ethernet Print is a cheap product. Spend more money to get long lasting quality.
