USB 2.0 Network Print Server

The StarTech.com PM1115U2 connects a single USB printer to a wired network so multiple computers can share it without a dedicated host PC. It is suited to small offices or workgroups that need a simple, always-available printing queue. The unit supports LPR and Bonjour Print Services for broad operating-system compatibility. Configuration is handled through a Windows setup utility or a web-based management interface.

Replaces Direct USB or Host-PC Sharing

This print server removes the need to keep a computer powered on just to serve a printer, and it upgrades a direct USB connection to a networked resource accessible from any wired station. The jump is worthwhile when the printer lacks built-in Ethernet and users are distributed across a 10/100Mbps LAN. Auto-sensing 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports negotiate the fastest available link without manual setup. It does not suit buyers who need wireless connectivity or multiple printer ports.

Integrates with Existing Wired Infrastructure

The adapter plugs into a standard RJ45 wall jack or switch using the supplied network cable and draws power from the included universal adapter. One USB 2.0 port accepts the printer, freeing the host computer’s USB ports for other peripherals. Full-duplex Fast Ethernet support keeps print jobs flowing without collisions on the twisted-pair medium. The compact black enclosure fits on a desk or shelf near the printer.

Questions about this item

What physical space does the 2.1 by 2.1 inch print server need on a desk or shelf?

The unit measures 2.1 inches wide by 2.1 inches deep and stands .9 inch tall, so it fits in a small footprint on any flat surface near your network switch.

How do I connect the PM1115U2 to my printer and network, and which step is often missed?

Plug the printer into the single USB 2.0 port, link the RJ-45 jack to your 10/100 network with the supplied cable, then run the Windows setup utility or web interface to configure LPR queue settings — skipping that configuration step leaves the printer invisible on the network.

When will the included universal power adapter need replacement?

The bundled multi-region power adapter powers the 2.20 oz device continuously; replace it only if the unit fails to power on or the output voltage drifts outside the print server’s requirements.
