## Description

From the Manufacturer IOGEAR USB 2.0 Print Server, 1-Port GPSU21 (Silver)IOGEAR's palm sized 1-port USB 2.0 Print Server allows any networked computer to share a USB printer. It complies with USB 2.0 specifications (backward compatible with USB 1.1 spec.), and provides users with an auto-sensing Ethernet port that works with either 10Base-T or 100Base-T networks. This unit also supports multiple protocols and multiple operating systems, and it integrates Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) in this print server to allow users to print from any computer over a LAN/WAN or the Internet by specifying the device's URL. The built-in web management feature provides more convenience by allowing the user to configure, monitor and even reset the print server via a web browser. This eliminates the need to place the printer right next to the computer. Print jobs can be sent to a printer in another country just as easily as to a printer in the same office. Why bother sending a degraded fax image while you can print an original at the destination? Device is not compatible with Multi-Functional Printers. Key FeaturesEasily connect your USB printer to a network Allows multiple computers to share one USB printer on the network Print from any computer on your network or from across the Internet Supports DHCP Client and multiple network protocols 10Base-T / 100Base-T auto-sensing Supports Telnet and Web Management software How it works Requirements:Windows® 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 Mac OS 9.22 or laterUnix/LinuxPrinter with USB connectionDevice is not plug and play and requires a set up through a hardwired connection to the network router or switch.What's in the Box: 1-Port USB 2.0 Print Server, CAT5 Patch Cable, Power Adapter, Installation CD, User Manual and Warranty / Registration Card Warranty: 3-year warranty Product Description Requirements: -Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 - Mac OS 9. 22 or later-Unix/Linux-Printer with USB connection-DHCP server on the network.

Review: Works extremely well... setup not as straightforward - The user's manual that came with this product provides incorrect installation instructions. There is no CD that comes with this product. You do NOT need to change your computer's IP address so that it can be on the same default subnet as the print server! If you have a DHCP server on your network, the print server will accept an IP from your DHCP server. I downloaded the setup software from IOGear's website and it was written for WinXP! I assumed that it should be compatible with Win11, which is what I am running, but the software failed to do anything useful. I uninstalled the software. You do need to make sure that your computer has the printer drivers already installed, and I would also strongly recommend that you assign the print server a static IP address. The steps you would need to take to connect to the print server / printer are not obvious and not documented in the user's manual. I reached out to the IOGear support line and they were able to walk me through the configuration steps needed. After the call, I was able to successfully print a test page.
Review: Easy install on Vista & Win 7 64 bit UPDATED - I read others say it's tricky to install but the instructions are straightforward and easy. I used this method for both a Vista and Windows 7 64 bit machine: 1) Make sure your printer is compatible. See www.iogear(dot)com/files/pdf/GPSU21_PrinterCompatibilityList.pdf 2) Make sure you have installed the printer drivers on your computer. This is only a server, you must still have the drivers installed. 3) Insert the CD and run the Wizard. If prompted by Windows, grant permissions and Unblock firewall. 4) If you need to configure a static IP you can, otherwise just click through the steps. 5) When you get to where you select a printer, if the printer you want is not on the list (mine wasn't) then click Add New Printer and (as the instructions say, but this is important to not miss)"If asked which port to use, choose LPT1 but DO NOT print a test page yet." 6) Just click through to Finish. You can now go to Control Panel and print a test page if you want. Works fine. I have two notebooks that both now have access to the printer without difficulty. UPDATE 7/16/13: Some folks had mentioned the print server stopped working. I had that too and here's what the problem was - I had reset my wifi router. So the IP my computers had for the print server port(which is set during the print server CD setup) no longer matched the new IP the router assigned. This can easily be remedied by setting up the print server with a static IP during the wizard install. Just follow the instructions in the manual. Then I went to my wifi router admin page and set aside that IP for the print server. The process to do this varies per router, but you should be able to find it without too much trouble. On my Linksys E2000 this is done on the Admin's Setup page, under DHCP Server Settings and selecting DHCP Reservation. Afterwards the IP address port assigned to the print server on your computer will always match the one assigned by your router even if you have a power outage or need to reset your router. This whole process literally takes a minute or two. The print server still works great!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: has anyone had any trouble connecting to a router, and does it work great from router or does your router fry**
A: I have these on networks with a Netgear FVS 336G router and a Cisco RV345P and they work fine. The IoGear manual is obsolete an so the instructions are fairly useless, so see my answers to other questions here for details on configuring.

**Q: Is it compatible with DYMO label printers (400, 450)?**
A: I'm using this on a network with Macs and PCs running Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and Windows 7 pro and Windows 10. All work fine, but getting the print server configured with a static IP address was a pain on the Macs, only due to the poor documentation, therefore some tips below.

TIPS FOR CONFIGURING (MACS AND PCS)
Note for the instructions below, the print server should be connected to your network and powered on.

The user manual doesn’t go into enough detail on how to properly configure. The print server uses DHCP (from your router or cable modem) to assign it a network IP address. The problem with this is, that address is not fixed and can change, and then your printing stops working. So you need to configure the server to have a static (fixed) IP address. To determine what address to set it to, once you have the print server connected to your network and powered on, your router or cable modem will assign it a random IP address. You can then check your router or modem configuration to find the assigned address; somewhere in the config settings you’ll find the IP address. (If this is too technical for you, get a techie to do this.) You can change the print server config to make that IP address fixed.

On a PC this is fairly easy, you just follow the instructions for setting a fixed IP address during installation, an enter the device’s current IP address.

On Macs, there is no IOGear installer, so you must first configure the static IP address of the device in a browser by entering the device’s current IP address that you got from the router or modem config into a browser. That will bring up the print server’s config page. Click on the “TCP/IP” link and change the TCP/IP setting from “Automatic” to “Manual:” then you can then enter the fixed IP address. The subnet mask and gateway address should already be there, but if not, you can get it from your router or Mac OS network control panel (Apple Menu>System Preferences>Network). Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen to save the settings.

Once you have the print server IP address set to fixed, you can then add the device as you would any printer via the Mac OS Printers & Scanners control panel. Go to Apple Menu>System Preferences>Printers & Scanners. Follow the instructions in the IOGear install instructions and enter the server’s fixed IP address in the “Address:” field as directed in the IOGear instructions.

If you have a VPN router or modem, you may need to set port forwarding (port 631 and 9100 for this printer) to allow the printer’s data packets to travel across your network. If you have a router and don’t know what this means, get a techie to do so IF your printer doesn’t work after all other setup has been done.

**Q: The device works with hp laser jet pro cm 1415 fn color mfp?**
A: I do not see that printer on their list of tested printers.   https://www.iogear.com/files/pdf/GPSU21_PrinterCompatibilityList_201505.pdfThere is a 50/50 chance it might work just fine as long as your not using all the advanced features of the MFP.Use this unidirectional device is for sending a print job to print and that's it.

**Q: Will this work with an iPad?**
A: Providing the ipad has an appropriate app as well as the drivers for your specific printer. The IOGEAR works great, you can set a static ip address. see the following link for some additional information: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18930908#18930908

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be persistent and it will happen. And, you will be pleased with the result.
*by R***S on April 1, 2021*

I would love to give this device a FIVE, since it works perfectly once it is set up. The difficulty is all about the setup. I am a retired IT Manager so I am not one to give up easily on a product install. It would simply NOT install as described in the manual. In Windows 10 it would get to the first level but would not identify any print servers as described in the installation manual, which means that you cannot proceed any further. I then went into Safe Mode several times and actually was able to proceed beyond the first screen and actually search for an actual print server (this product). In Safe Mode even with Networking, the App could not identify the needed print server. There were suggestions that the Firewalls be disabled and I tried that after pulling the plug on our Internet connection. Finally, after switching back and forth between Safe Mode and Windows 10, there appeared a desktop icon labeled "PSWizard". which was clearly part of the installation but was not mentioned in any of the documentation. Long story short, when you click on this program it allows you to bypass whatever Firewall settings that exist at the time (I had unplugged us from the Comcast modem so was not concerned) the net result being that the wizard was able to connect me and my wife's computer to the printer with little hassle. Does it work? You bet! Will you have to work to get it to work? You Bet!
