There is no CD that comes with this product. You do NOT need to change your computer's IP address so that it can be on the same default subnet as the print server! If you have a DHCP server on your network, the print server will accept an IP from your DHCP server. I downloaded the setup software from IOGear's website and it was written for WinXP! I assumed that it should be compatible with Win11, which is what I am running, but the software failed to do anything useful. I uninstalled the software. You do need to make sure that your computer has the printer drivers already installed, and I would also strongly recommend that you assign the print server a static IP address. The steps you would need to take to connect to the print server / printer are not obvious and not documented in the user's manual. I reached out to the IOGear support line and they were able to walk me through the configuration steps needed. After the call, I was able to successfully print a test page. Review: Easy install on Vista & Win 7 64 bit UPDATED - I read others say it's tricky to install but the instructions are straightforward and easy. I used this method for both a Vista and Windows 7 64 bit machine: 1) Make sure your printer is compatible. See www.iogear(dot)com/files/pdf/GPSU21_PrinterCompatibilityList.pdf 2) Make sure you have installed the printer drivers on your computer. This is only a server, you must still have the drivers installed. 3) Insert the CD and run the Wizard. If prompted by Windows, grant permissions and Unblock firewall. 4) If you need to configure a static IP you can, otherwise just click through the steps. 5) When you get to where you select a printer, if the printer you want is not on the list (mine wasn't) then click Add New Printer and (as the instructions say, but this is important to not miss)"If asked which port to use, choose LPT1 but DO NOT print a test page yet." 6) Just click through to Finish. You can now go to Control Panel and print a test page if you want. Works fine. I have two notebooks that both now have access to the printer without difficulty. UPDATE 7/16/13: Some folks had mentioned the print server stopped working. I had that too and here's what the problem was - I had reset my wifi router. So the IP my computers had for the print server port(which is set during the print server CD setup) no longer matched the new IP the router assigned. This can easily be remedied by setting up the print server with a static IP during the wizard install. Just follow the instructions in the manual. Then I went to my wifi router admin page and set aside that IP for the print server. The process to do this varies per router, but you should be able to find it without too much trouble. On my Linksys E2000 this is done on the Admin's Setup page, under DHCP Server Settings and selecting DHCP Reservation. Afterwards the IP address port assigned to the print server on your computer will always match the one assigned by your router even if you have a power outage or need to reset your router. This whole process literally takes a minute or two. The print server still works great! ## Features - Easily connects USB 2.0, 1.1 printer to a network, allows multiple computers to share 1 USB printer on the network with the included Cat 5 cable - Print from any computer on the network or from across the Internet; USB cable and Ethernet cable used for connection - 10Base-T, 100Base-T auto-sensing Ethernet Port; Please refer to user guide before use - Supports DHCP client and multiple network protocols; Supports Telnet and web management software - Backed by IOGEAR's 3-year and free lifetime US based technical support, Note : Refer to the PDF attached below in Technical Specification for manual and Troubleshooting step ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FW60FW | | Best Sellers Rank | #4 in Computer Networking Print Servers | | Brand | IOGEAR | | Built-In Media | 1 x CAT5 Patch Cable, 1 x Installation CD, 1 x Power Adapter, 1 x User Manual, 1 x Warranty / Registration Card | | Color | SILVER COLOR | | Compatible Devices | Printer | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 1,484 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet , Fast Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 100 megabits_per_second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00881317005717 | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0 | | Item Weight | 1.92 ounces | | Manufacturer | IOGEAR | | Mfr Part Number | GPSU21 | | Model Number | GPSU21 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | UPC | 881317005717 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 year warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** IOGEAR - **Color:** SILVER COLOR - **Data Link Protocol:** Ethernet, Fast Ethernet - **Data Transfer Rate:** 100 Megabits Per Second - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00881317005717 - **Hardware Interface:** USB 2.0 - **Item Weight:** 1.92 ounces - **Manufacturer:** IOGEAR - **UPC:** 881317005717 ## Images ![1-Port USB 2.0 Print Server, GPSU21 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wCq2xPDVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: has anyone had any trouble connecting to a router, and does it work great from router or does your router fry** A: I have these on networks with a Netgear FVS 336G router and a Cisco RV345P and they work fine. The IoGear manual is obsolete an so the instructions are fairly useless, so see my answers to other questions here for details on configuring. **Q: Is it compatible with DYMO label printers (400, 450)?** A: I'm using this on a network with Macs and PCs running Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and Windows 7 pro and Windows 10. All work fine, but getting the print server configured with a static IP address was a pain on the Macs, only due to the poor documentation, therefore some tips below. TIPS FOR CONFIGURING (MACS AND PCS) Note for the instructions below, the print server should be connected to your network and powered on. The user manual doesn’t go into enough detail on how to properly configure. The print server uses DHCP (from your router or cable modem) to assign it a network IP address. The problem with this is, that address is not fixed and can change, and then your printing stops working. So you need to configure the server to have a static (fixed) IP address. To determine what address to set it to, once you have the print server connected to your network and powered on, your router or cable modem will assign it a random IP address. You can then check your router or modem configuration to find the assigned address; somewhere in the config settings you’ll find the IP address. (If this is too technical for you, get a techie to do this.) You can change the print server config to make that IP address fixed. On a PC this is fairly easy, you just follow the instructions for setting a fixed IP address during installation, an enter the device’s current IP address. On Macs, there is no IOGear installer, so you must first configure the static IP address of the device in a browser by entering the device’s current IP address that you got from the router or modem config into a browser. That will bring up the print server’s config page. Click on the “TCP/IP” link and change the TCP/IP setting from “Automatic” to “Manual:” then you can then enter the fixed IP address. The subnet mask and gateway address should already be there, but if not, you can get it from your router or Mac OS network control panel (Apple Menu>System Preferences>Network). Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen to save the settings. Once you have the print server IP address set to fixed, you can then add the device as you would any printer via the Mac OS Printers & Scanners control panel. Go to Apple Menu>System Preferences>Printers & Scanners. Follow the instructions in the IOGear install instructions and enter the server’s fixed IP address in the “Address:” field as directed in the IOGear instructions. If you have a VPN router or modem, you may need to set port forwarding (port 631 and 9100 for this printer) to allow the printer’s data packets to travel across your network. If you have a router and don’t know what this means, get a techie to do so IF your printer doesn’t work after all other setup has been done. **Q: The device works with hp laser jet pro cm 1415 fn color mfp?** A: I do not see that printer on their list of tested printers. https://www.iogear.com/files/pdf/GPSU21_PrinterCompatibilityList_201505.pdfThere is a 50/50 chance it might work just fine as long as your not using all the advanced features of the MFP.Use this unidirectional device is for sending a print job to print and that's it. **Q: Will this work with an iPad?** A: Providing the ipad has an appropriate app as well as the drivers for your specific printer. The IOGEAR works great, you can set a static ip address. see the following link for some additional information: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18930908#18930908 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works extremely well... setup not as straightforward *by W***. on November 19, 2025* The user's manual that came with this product provides incorrect installation instructions.

The product looked pretty good and seemed like a perfect solution. To my dismay, reality was much more painful. We have 2 PCs, one laptop and an iMac on our network and when I opened the directions to "Istall on a Mac" I found the following listed as a first step. (After physically plugging the print server into the printer and hub. Open your printer dialong and input the IP address of the print server.....well, just what IS the IP address this thing sets up for it self? Good thing I had a windows PC that could take their installation CD. I figured I would install on the Windows PC first and then move back to the Mac. All was going well with the install until I selected which printer was going to be used on the server. After selecting the printer I was treated to another extremely helpful message...and this is actually how it was written. "The printer segent that was you selected is not the same as the print server". Nice error message, got it on the other two windows machines as well. Went the the manufacturer's web site and decided to check out the support/faq for this device. Guess what? There were zero articles about this device. None! I quick search of the web netted me the cause of this error. The printer I have (an HP Photosmart 8250) is not supported by this product. Would have been nice to find that out before I ordered. Amazon's return was as easy as ever, so I can't fault Amazon in any way. If you own any newer printer, aviod this thing at all costs. Firmware is dated in Feb 2006 and there are no updates for it at this time. ## Frequently Bought Together - IOGEAR 1-Port USB 2.0 Print Server, GPSU21 - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue - StarTech.com 10/100Mbps Ethernet to USB 2.0 Network Print Server - Windows 10 - LPR - LAN USB Print Server Adapter (PM1115U2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/431766-1-port-usb-2-0-print-server-gpsu21](https://www.desertcart.no/products/431766-1-port-usb-2-0-print-server-gpsu21) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
