I'm incredibly pleased with this little device which has added years to the life of my never-say-die NEC SuperScript 870 printer and the years' worth of toner I had stocked for it. Parallel port, non-networking dinosaurs become 25th century androids again, and considering how printers these days are almost as disposable as their ink cartridges, that's a good thing.
As others reported, installation was pretty quick, although you definitely must use the disc included for this task. It will find many legacy printers to suggest drivers for, but if one does not specifically exist for your printer on your operating system, it won't work. I had to cobble together a driver using some advice on a board for my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and found that once again, you must add the printer using the included disk rather that just Windows wizards.
It requires a power source. I wish this were dual voltage (120V only) since I move overseas regularly, but that's picking nits. It's also a bit odd that it doesn't show up on my router as network item, but as long as my computers see it as a printer option, I'm satisfied.

Out of the box and plugged in I was able to send data to an embossed card printer (clinical application) to emulate the existing, but failing, unit. Worked like a charm.

I have an older laser printer (NEC Superscript 870) which has been bulletproof for many years, but it only has a parallel port. I had connected to it prior via another parallel port print server device (D-Link DP-301P+), but it was behaving erratically in recent months. I don't normally buy TrendNet products but wanted to give this unit a try since the price was comparable and the other reviews seemed positive. It installs very much the same as the D-Link, and one needs to create a TCP/IP port on their Win machine in the same way. It has worked flawlessly for the few weeks I've had it. It does take some minor geekness to get it fully up and running, but if you follow the directions carefully you should be good to go. I am now again printing to my undying laser printer over my house network with both Windows and Apple machines.

This product works great and installs pretty easily. The only problem I had was clearance issues. There was not enough room around my parallel plug-in for the bulk case to fit. TRENDnet really should have given it a 1" extention at the plug to increase the fit potential. I suspect that the wireless version has the same issue (the body looks identical in the pictures, except for the antenna). If your printer is like mine, you will need a Cables To Go 02677 Centronics 36 Male/Female Extension Cable (under $10) to make it work.

I am using this with an HP Laserjet 6P with postscript with both Mac (10.5 and 10.6) and Windows (XP and 7). I had to cut out part of the back of my HP 6P printer to get it to fit (open up the connector section). Even with the cutout, there is a metal piece of the printer that creates a tight fit - but it does fit. That said, it works very well after installation and IP address settings change. Thanks to other reviewer that pointed out the odd IP address that is the default.
I recommend this product, with the caveat that some modifications to the case are required.
