Just find the IOGear USB Print Server via Rendezvous
Authored by: Brandon White on Mar 05, '05 03:48:43PM

There's an easier way to initially locate this print server, because the device is Rendezvous-enabled (or whatever we'll eventually call Rendezvous).

When you plug in the IOGear Print Server, it grabs an IP address from your LAN's DHCP server or router, then begins broadcasting its own presence via Rendezvous. You then launch Safari at your computer, open Safari preferences, click the Bookmarks pane, and click "Include Rendezvous" in your Bookmarks Bar setting. From there, you'll have a folder in your Bookmarks Bar that lists all the Rendezvous web sites found. Your IOGear Print Server's web interface will be one of the available Rendezvous websites available. Hit that site and configure away.

In my experience, none of this was true with Hawking Tech's competing device, making the choice of IOGear's product an easy one.
