About the setup, for sure it is not plug and play; however it is not that hard. First, you have to have NetBUEI protocol at the "Administrative" computer (it is not installed by default; but can be added on easily), then run its setup (FirstGear) with Administrative ability to configure the PS110, then you can assign the IP address for it. I'd like to use a fixed IP and not using the DHCP. For the other computer, ( a Mac or PC), you can just use TCP/IP protocol. For PC, run its setup as client computer (only need "Add Printer Wizard"), it will find and add two ports for the system, then just install your printer driver on the port.
Once the PS110 is set, it remembers its setting. You may turn it off if you want. The netgear also provides firmware update at its web site. I am very happy with this print sever. If this print server provided web-based setup ( by just using browser with a specific IP), I would give it a five-star evaluation. If it also came with a build-in Ethernet switches/hub ( it is not), I would give it a six star.
