Peripheral Sharing Works as Intended

By William
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-09-18

I've been able to connect four Windows PCs (XP, 7, 8.1, 10) to an Epson all-in-one printer. Although my printer is wireless capable, I find USB connectivity more reliable and less frustrating. The packaged software (CD), as well as the included Installation Guide, are antiquated (Windows XP/Vista; Mac OS X) but were still useful for one of my connected PCs. Accessing the product manufacturer's website is required to obtain an up-to-date User Manual and to install applicable drivers for PCs with newer operating systems. This applies to Windows (7, 8.1, 10) and Mac (10.6 and above) with an available USB Type-A port. One 6-foot USB A-B cable is also included. Each of my PCs printed successfully to the one printer as intended.

Nice utility

I did not want to load any software on because 2 of my computers are Editing Computers that I do not add much onto. I like that loading software was not needed to have this function well. When I began my search for this printer switch I did not expect to find one this nice. Thanks again to B&H for providing the option. For you who have questions about the scanner, IT WORKS.
