Took at bit of effort.......2007-05-26

I connected this to an Epson Stylus Photo 870 for use with Mac OS X workstations and it didn't work right away. I downloaded the gimp-print open source drivers to get the printer to work via the LAN rather than the direct-connect USB it had been using. Information about the printer is not transmitted across the network connection as it is in the USB but the printing and quality is the same. We were willing to give up a bit of functionality for the convenience of not having to share the printer from a workstation (and constantly keeping that workstation powered-on).

Couldn't get it work........2007-05-14

Well I done some checking before I bought the product and was excited to get it. But I couldn't ever get it to work. The good thing is that I had no problem returning it.

I have a PC and a Mac. The setup was with the PC but it works perfectly with my Mac also... I didn't read the manual... easy setup...

Great for Windows, works for Mac with a bit of effort.......2007-03-25

I use a Windows based wireless network with a Mac attached. I used the print server to connect my Canon PIXMA. I had no trouble getting the printer recognized and working in <10 minutes. For the Mac, lets just say I took more like hours and purchasing PrintFab to get it to work. I works now without problems, but the set up was more challenging than expected.

Make sure you go to Buffalo's website and check to see if your printer is compatible. I believe this product would have been easy enough to setup and use but 4 hours later I found out that my printer was not compatible. Not sure of the compatibility with Mac, I couldn't get past the PC instal.
