Rated 5 out of 5 byclassicalpiano from Simply terrificI have been using Tripp-Lite products for years. Besides the printer switch, I also own two Tripp-Lite ECO-UPS systems (ECO850LCD). One is for my computers and other peripherals, and the other is for my TV, DVR and other electronic equipment. Never a problem. They just work reliably as they should. I would only buy Tripp-Lite products.

Rated 5 out of 5 byGAGEMAN from Best quality, function and price!I am an Engineer by profession and know function, quality and value. This is an electro-mechanical switch with a positive click. We tried one from Staples which was strictly software based and it did not work worth a darn. We should have gone to CDW first instead of wasting our time. BTW, the CDW customer assistance was outstanding.and the person helping went out of her way to show us similar products for comparison. A great overall buying experience!

Rated 5 out of 5 byMark from Poor Tech Support from Trip LiteThe device came with a mini-cd that contained the drives. Mini cd's a worthless since they cannot be used on automatic loading optical drives. They jam the drive and cannot be ejected.I downloaded the drives online but they would not load. I called Trip Lite tech support, they supplied me with a case number and requested that I send them a screenshot of the error message. I was informed that they would get back to me within 3 days. Almost two weeks have gone by and no return phone call.So much for their world class technical support.

Rated 5 out of 5 byBassetBoy from FINALLY!Don't know what took me so long to FINALLY find this switch, knew one had to exist but just didn't think about CDW after my move from Vernon Hills, IL, where I could just walk into the store and ask. Portland, OR is a long way away, but everything works great now! Thank you!!!
