The inconspicuous little box does exactly what it should. My Canon IP4500 became the full-fledged network printer! The Silex is precisely tailored to the respective printer and Canon are all status messages of the printer, eg. As if the door has been opened or an ink cartridge is empty, to any PC within the network. That is, it is as if the printer were directly connected to the PC. Folgene configuration I have with me: - I go to the Internet via a Speedport W920V of Telekom, all PCs, smartphones and tablets are connected via Wi-Fi - To the first LAN connection I have the Silex 6200U connected, the USB printer cable from the printer then in the Silex - On all PCs of normal printer driver must be installed and the Canon CX User Software (on the website of silexeurope) of Silex. (This goes both: either the first Silex driver and then the printer driver, or vice versa)
COMPATIBILITY I have three PCs with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (both 32-bit), and the part works everywhere perfectly. Available on the website of silexeurope that the 6200U is no longer supported, because they want to (expensive) Sale 6700, but it is excellent. Another tip: the FAQs of silexeurope are actually very valuable, for example, if the router times suddenly assigns a new IP address, and the printer can no longer be found (happens when you once had to a computer for long periods of time. ).
CONCLUSION Thoroughly enjoyable and stable product and a MUST HAVE for all who want to print from multiple computers.
