This thing is brilliant and infuriating at the same time.
Does it work? Yes but, I have experienced 2 problems.
Problem #1 - Running on a Windows 10 Network, installing the printer as a TCP/IP printer, no issues, if you are the administrator. Minor issue, send a print job, Windows reports an error but still prints fine.
If you are not the owner/admin of the computer, the problems come up. As a user, I can install the printer, but it won't print. I have to install as the owner/admin. However, sending a print job (a single copy) as the user and I start getting endless prints of that single copy. I have to power cycle the printer and this unit to get it to stop. Could be the way it communicates to the HP Printer, but this is a pain in the butt since I don't want the kids to be admin/owners on their computer, but would still like to grant them the ability to print their homework.
Problem #2 is more of an annoyance. Randomly, this thing starts flooding the network with traffic like it's performing a DOS attack. Once we figured out what was going on, we just unplug it and plug it back in to get it to stop.
