I was just about to throw this thing away and buy a new print server when I found your blog. Thank you for taking the time to post this. Once I was able to log into the web interface and set up the server, I was able to get it to work. You rock! Thank you thank you thank you!

I was having issues getting this thing recognized using the supplied software. I got mine up and running on my XP machines by: *Hook everything up as per supplied instructions. *Then from a PC on the network: *Go to start-->Control Panel-->Printers and Faxes *Select "Add Printer" from the left. *When the Wizard starts select LOCAL printer connected to PC. *UN-CHECK "auto-detect plug and play printer" *Select "Create new port" and chose "TCP/IP" *Log into your router and find the IP address that was assigned to the print server. Be sure DHCP is active. *Enter this address into the "Printer Name or IP Address" *Enter or leave the default printer name. *hit next and select "custom" then "settings" *Change the protocol to LPR from RAW and input "LP1" as the LPR seting. Enable LPR byte counting. *hit next, this will take you back to the "standard or custom Device Type" page. *hit next and finish the Wizard. *Next choose your printer manufacturer and the appropriate driver from the list. *You can select "Have Disk" to use the drivers on your printers install disk, but I had issues with that. So if that fails try a driver in the next LOWEST series printer than you are installing. I used the HP 2000 series driver for my 2100 series all-in-one printer and it works for basic printing. Good Luck! Thanks for the writeup!!!

I was having issues getting this thing recognized using the supplied software.

I got mine up and running on my XP machines by:

*Hook everything up as per supplied instructions.
*Then from a PC on the network:
*Go to start–>Control Panel–>Printers and Faxes
*Select “Add Printer” from the left.
*When the Wizard starts select LOCAL printer connected to PC.
*UN-CHECK “auto-detect plug and play printer”
*Select “Create new port” and chose “TCP/IP”
*Log into your router and find the IP address that was assigned to the print server. Be sure DHCP is active.
*Enter this address into the “Printer Name or IP Address”
*Enter or leave the default printer name.
*hit next and select “custom” then “settings”
*Change the protocol to LPR from RAW and input “LP1″ as the LPR seting. Enable LPR byte counting.
*hit next, this will take you back to the “standard or custom Device Type” page.
*hit next and finish the Wizard.
*Next choose your printer manufacturer and the appropriate driver from the list.
*You can select “Have Disk” to use the drivers on your printers install disk, but I had issues with that. So if that fails try a driver in the next LOWEST series printer than you are installing. I used the HP 2000 series driver for my 2100 series all-in-one printer and it works for basic printing.
