It works.. No problems . I have a 1200 HP LaserJet.. I wanted to put the printer on the net for a SOHO.. Put an ip on it configed snmp and connected the printer.. Worked like a champ.. I used the USB connector from the printer to the NIC.. One problems I have noticed.. Very Large PDF's take a long time to print "15MB PDF, 300 Pages, takes 2 hours".. I think it's the images.. Overall Buy it for a home network or small shop..

HP J6035B Jetdirect 175x Print Server (Fast Ethernet) Reviews
Works Perfectly! . This product worked perfectly with my multi-function printer (LJ 3330). I can print and scan from all PCs. Anyone having trouble getting this to work may not have followed the proper instructions. There are separate instructions for multi-function devices. The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because it's a tad pricy.

HP J6035B Jetdirect 175x Print Server (Fast Ethernet) Opinions
I did eventually get it to work with XP . I spent most of last night trying to get this thing to work and finally succeeded this morning.
I wanted my new JetDirect 175x (firmware 25.13) to work with a Win XP SP2 machine and an HP Deskjet 5550. Based on what I read in the HP support forum for the JD 175x, the issue was win XP with SP2. There were lots of complaints about SP2 and the solution was to uninstall SP2, which I did not want to do.
My JD did not respond to my router's DHCP serving, so I had to set up a fixed IP address. I had to go into the router setup to figure out what range of IP address the router was serving up and pick an IP outside of that range. By following the documentation that came with the JD 175x, I made some progress.
I could ping the JD no problem. I could use the web admin tool. I'm using the latest drivers from HP. The printer worked fine if connected directly to the USB port. The networked install went great and the printer even showed up on the list of printers with the correct IP address and it all looked good right up to the point where I tried to print a sample page, and then nothing. If I tried to print a document, the doc showed up in the queue, but the printer remained stoicly silent. The JD print server did not show up in my windows network neighborhood.
At this point I was ready to give up and buy the D-Link product which had received some good reviews. But I thought I'd check their support forum first. I ended up at the Quick-Install guide for the D-Link DP300U and read it. I noticed that it did something strange. Instead of configuring the device as a networked printer, it configured it as a local printer with a TCP/IP style port, and did a few other things, and bingo, my printer worked.
It doesn't work pefectly. The little toner-low graphic no long shows up and although it prints very quickly, it then spends some time doing some unseen activity after the printing is done.
So ... my suggestion is to read the install guides at D-Link to help you get this HP to work (See http://support.dlink.com/). Actually, I think I may return this and buy the D-Link device. They seem to have much better support, cost half as much as the JetDirect, have downloadable firmware, and in my opinion, they deserve my business.

Cons Review
Useless for a multifunction printer . I bought this for use with an HP OfficeJet 6110, a multifunction scanner/printer, because it was the recommended device for putting the printer on the network. However, after installing it, I found it doesn't support scanning or faxing using the multifunction printers - completely useless for the type of printer they recommend it for. Since HP doesn't seem to be able to make peripherals compatible with their own printers, you might as well just buy a cheaper alternative to start with.
