Three USB sockets, stated in the title and in the first bullet: up to three printers turned into network printers on one box, usable at the same time from several machines. Nine other listings sit on this shelf and every one of them serves a single printer — the specification row reads “one” or “not published” on all of them. For an office with a laser printer, a label printer and an old inkjet nobody will throw away, three sockets on one unit is the shape of the problem.
The second thing the page does that nothing else here does is name the software a phone needs. The third bullet gives Android printing through third-party applications and names two: PrinterShare and PrintHand. That is unusual and it cuts both ways. It is honest, because a print server without AirPrint or a mobile protocol does need something on the phone, and naming it lets a buyer check the application before buying the hardware. It is also an admission: the unit has no mobile printing of its own, and the two applications are somebody else’s product.
Which brings the limits, and they are the whole of the rest of the page. The second bullet gives Windows and Android, and nothing else. No macOS. No iOS, which follows from the Android-only mobile route. No Linux. Three of the ten listings on this shelf name macOS, all of them StarTech; this one does not.
No protocol of any kind is named — not IPP, not LPR, not raw port 9100, not Bonjour, not AirPrint — so what will find three printers across a network is unstated. The fifth bullet gives a standard USB 2.0 interface and “intuitive configuration tools” for use within a local network, which is a description of setup rather than of protocols.
The wireless is named and never specified: no 802.11 letter, no band, no channel width. The title says WiFi and the first bullet says the printers become WiFi-enabled network printers. Whether a wired socket exists at all is not described, although the fifth bullet refers to a LAN network.
No compatibility list, no model count and no document. On a unit meant to drive three printers, each of which has to be on whatever list exists, that is three times the risk of the usual case, and the page offers nothing to check against. The fourth bullet argues the cost case — one shared printer instead of several — which is the benefit rather than the specification.
