Оценки на клиенти: - `mac user. After I purchased HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit NOTE:
The HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit supports only the HP printers and HP All-in-One printers that are listed in this document. The HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit is not supported on a Macintosh compute
If I had seen this before I wouldn t have wasted my money. Now I have a useless upgrade kit
I regret to inform you that there are no Mac compatible drivers for your wireless printing upgrade it. I have checked the product specifications of your printer and there are no drivers for Mac.
Thank you all I hope that help mac user... - Good in theory. Be warned this is only compatible with selected HP Printers. I was mis-sold it by a well known home electrics store even though I told them I had a Brother printer!
I am glad in a way that it has to go back to the store as I wanted to set up two laptops to print wirelessly and this device only allows the second laptop to print if the first (the one you installed it on) is switched on. Also in hindsight I did not want the USB dongle permanantly attached to my laptop, this kit requires you to have it attached at all times. I have given three stars as I think it is a good product in theory as long as the buyer is happy with its limitations - plenty of people will be. I thought it was a good quality product, would be easy to install and priced fairly. - HP Wireless Printing Kit - More Functional Cheaper products available. I bought this as I thought it would enable me to share a printer Wirelessly amongst a number of computers. It does work but with significant usability restrictions:
1. You need the USB dongle plugged into the computer you initially installed the upgrade kit on
2. The computer with the dongle has to be switched on before other computers can share the printer wirelessly.
3. Take the dongle out or turn the installed computer off and you cant print wirelessly from another computer.
What I was looking for was a unit which I could leave attached to my printer and just wirelessly print. Having to go switch (or leave on) another computer before my laptop can print wirelessly is restrictive and takes away the flexibility I was seeking.
I would recommend a more functional wirless unit like Netgears WGPS606UK or PS121 which are priced similar (or even less). Was disappointed especially as normally HP have reliable products. I was disappointed. - Fails to install on MacBook. It just wouldn t install on my MacBook even though it is Mac compatible and has appropriate install software for it. I returned it.
- Its ok, but I would ve preferred not having to use a dongle. Bought this from Avides Media (through Amazon), all arrived on time, no trouble with order (as per usual). Product easy to set up, but having a two-pin power lead was a bit of a pain, works ok with a shaving socket 2-3pin converter though. Software installed fine. Thing I m most unhappy with is having to use a USB dongle in my wireless laptop to connect to the print server - I would have expected HP to have come up with a solution that worked better than this, using wireless capability of laptop instead of the USB device. That said it all works fine with my HP6100 all-in-one, I can scan, print etc without any problems.
