ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List
ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List can be found here. Edited March 27, 2009.
Hello
Thanks for the compatibility list. But regarding printers it is pretty poor... I have an HP Laserjet 1018 - it works only if i first plug it in directly to the USB Port of the PC (Windows XP). When i turn off the power of the printer it is still recognized from my ReadyNas Duo and PC, but no chance to print, nothing happens, no error message - nothing. Plug the printer directly to the USB port of the PC again, make a testprint, replug it again on ReadyNas (leaving power of printer on!) - works again.
With my new Samsung CLP-315 everything works fine.
I intend to buy a new black/white laser printer but this compatibility list does not really help me a lot. I have found an interesting compatibility list for the Fritz!Box printserver on http://www.wehavemorefun.de/fritzbox/Drucker. For my HP 1018 exactly the same incompatibility issue is described, so i wonder how far this list could be used for the ReadyNas. Anyway. I have started a support request and the answer was to post here in the forum my whish for an actual and significant printer compatibility list. I think that the Fritz!Box list could act as reference...
