no WPA2 support.......2007-05-26

This print server doesn't support WPA2 encryption making it incompatible with my wireless network. Fortunately, my printer is located near the wireless router so I plugged the printer directly into the router.

I can print fine from OS X and Windows XP.

My firmware version is 2.00. From a quick google search, it seems later versions were made but cannot be found. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=CX4&q=dp-g321+firmware&btnG=Search&meta=

D-Link Return Problems.......2007-05-22

Think twice before you buy this or any D-Link products. When this unit failed, it took my materials person 2 hours, 6 phone calls and 8 techs to get an RMA authorization. D-Link pay attention, you will be loosing business for poor performance. D-Link hassled my materials person instead of just issuing her an RMA. She had all of the information for the RMA prior to calling and it still took her 2 hours, 6 phone calls and 8 techs to get an RMA authorization!

Useful - but need some additional work.......2007-03-13

Flexible for people with older printers because of the LPT-port. Took some effort to set up. D-Link's installation manual did not solv all the issues and their Customer Support could have done much better. It was hard to get to the right person/department, and their support person was not so skilful in the English language. After lots of trouble and trial and error I finally got it to work with my desktop with Win XP but I could never get it to work with my laptop with Win Vista.

impossible to set up even with hours of bad tech support.......2006-12-01

Never was able to get this printer server to work and I spent 6 hours trying. Dlink tech support was horrible. Indian techs were hard to understand. The quality of the connection was bad. And they really didn't know what they were doing.
Amazon was great. Took the server back and refunded my money with no hassle. I spend a lot with Amazon and have very few returns. I don't know if that was a factor in the great service.
I bought the Netgear print server, which is not as full featured as the Dlink. It was up and running on all three PC's in less than 1/2 hour with no need to call tech support!

Great product, installation had small hiccups........2006-11-29

I figured that I stood a good chance of a seamless upgrade since my router is also a d-link, but it was not problem-free. I did manage to clear things up pretty quickly and it turned out that in large part the error was mine, ...you have to follow the setup instructions EXACTLY...and it's worked beautifully ever since. I love not having to have one computer on all the time to allow other network computers to print and I've saved a bundle on electricity. Be aware however that d-link tech support is not super-saavy, and I suspect that it would not very be helpful to novice users.
