The problem occurs when the printer has been idle for a while. I've setup and configured the Netgear print server on my network, connected my printer to it, and I'm able to print to it from all my PCs. I bought this as a replacement to my old print server (which died after 6 years probably due to a power spike) and it has been a disappointment. To show you that this "Trigger Scanner" button also works when the printer is connected to another computer.Pros: If you are looking for a switch then I guess this will do the job, although, you could probably find another switch for less money.Ĭons: If you are looking for a print server that you can forget about (once its configured) and expect it to work all the time then look elsewhere. Once scanned, you can find the image on your computer. If you have clicked on the "Trigger Scanner" button, scanning is done through the Netgear program. So you can scan even if the printer is connected to another computer.

This driver is installed by Netgear, as you can see in this picture. Thus, Windows thinks that the printer is plugged into an USB port on your computer (which will also allow you to scan documents, if applicable). The Netgear program installs a driver "Kernel USB Software Bus by TCP" that redirects the information of the USB printer over the network. In reality, your printer is not a shared printer (as it could be done through a Windows computer). If you look in devices and printers in Windows, you will see that Windows recognizes the printer as a standard printer.
