Works...but not as well as I'd like

2008-10-17
I can echo the previous reviews. Setting up 4 machines...two Vistas (one 32-bit and one 64-bit) and two XP laptops. PRinting works from all four machines, but server does need to be rebooted (unplugged from power supply) sometimes to re-initialize. I gave up on the CD...programs are older versions...downloaded all programs from the website.
Can't seem to scan w/ my Vista 64...computer can't seem to locte the server. Scan and print seem to be working well from both XP machines.

Good Product

This product is used for our office and works just fine. It was easy to set up and is easy to use. Had no problems at all.

Doesn't work well with Windows Vista 64-Bit

2008-06-01
I bought this axis 1650 server and a Canon MF4150 for setting up my home office. Here are some problems I met:

1. The CD that came with the server is not for Vista (64bit) - You'll need to download all these software again from Axis website yourself.

2. The manual doesn't explain how you can install a printer after you set up the server. (Basically you need to set up a "local printer" with a special port called "AXIS CAPT Port" and then specify the location to your printer's driver.)

3. I have problem connecting to my MF4150's scanner using AXIS ScanClient on my Vista 64-bit PC. It says there's an error and never connect successfully. It works fine on my laptop running XP though.

A Rip-Off

2007-11-30
This product cost almost as much as the Canon MF 4150 printer I teamed it up with and yet:

1) Has both a USB and a LPT1, yet can handle only one printer at a time.

2) Does not work well with Windows Vista. I have 2 XP machines and 1 Vista machine on my home network, but must re-set the port each time I boot up on the Vista machine. Have also had the network connection to the printer fail twice on the XP machines.

3) Got passed off to Canon when I contacted Axis for customer support. They claimed that product was produced for Canon and Canon was responsible for customer technical support. Canon in turn responded with boilerplate tech support that had no chance of correcting the problems I was having with Vista.

I am not sure what the alternatives are, but I would avoid this product if at all possible.

Great Gadget with Bonus Function!

2007-09-17
I expected a print server but my research told me that the scanner function could not be shared. I was one happy small office owner on finding out that this user firendly device allowed networking of both printing and scanning in my Canon MF6530 copier/printer/color scanner. I reserve color printing jobs to save on color toners/cartridges

good- and necessary -although I wish it were less $
