20 Most Recent D-Link RangeBooster G DPR-1260 (DPR1260) Print Server Questions & Answers

I was having the same problem when I added a Windows Vista PC to my home network. My older XP systems workd fine, but the Vista system would keep printing. The following fix worked forme in vista, may work in XP also.

1. First, be sure you have the latest firmware in your DPR1260. Version 1.24 is what I am using.
2. From the printer window (or via controlm panel) select your printer, then select Properties (either right click, or from the menu via File-Properties)
3. In the Properties Window, select the Ports tab. You should see your printer highlighted and checked, under the port heading next to thcheck box you'll see IP_192.168.x.x, under descriptio Standard TCP/IP Port, and undr Printer, the name of your printer.
4. Click the "Configure Port" button, be sure "LPR" is selected, not "RAW". Under LPR Settings, check that the "Queue Name" matches that in our DPR1260 status screen, and be sure SNMP Status Enabled is not checked.

The problem on my Vista machine went away when I changed from "RAW" to "LPR" settings.

Hope this helps.

no it is not..

The print server is probably going into sleep mode to save power, log onto the server and check power settings.

Start > Devices & Printers > Add a Printer > Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer
> The printer I want isn't listed (unless it is!) > Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname
> Device Type = Autodetect / Hostname or IP address: 192.168.XXX.XXX (The 1260's IP assigned by
your router - make it a static IP beforehand) / Port name: [the autofill IP is fine] > Additional port
information required = Standard "Network Print Server (2 ports - USB)" > Select the driver for the printer
you want to use...

Once the install is complete go to the Devices and Printers screen and click on the new printer.
Click Customize your Printer, change the name if you prefer and then on the ports tab. Mine is
set to Protocol "Raw", Port Number 9100, Community Name "public". The only other thing I may be
doing differently is that I have set the printer to auto-show the print preview before printing.
Yes, its an additional click but it seemed to have made all the difference in my case. It also
gives you the chance to correct something like printing a second page with just a header URL, etc.

I realize that time is a luxury and not everyone has a lot of it, especially for trivial tasks
like addressing antiquated equipment compatibility issues after an upgrade, but I firmly believe
if you say can't enough, you WON'T. But for those who enjoy a challenge occasionally I hope this
points you in the right direction. Good luck

Try changing the channel to a higher channel. Default settings interfere with cordless land line phones.

Hi,

Unfortunately, you haven't provided any details as to the steps you've thus far taken. So lets start at the beginning and solve your problem step-by-step.

Step 1 Locate the Queue name, or Port name, of your printer.

Click here for instructions on locating the Queue name since you are using a DPR-1260.

Step 2 After you locate the Queue or Port name, you will want to write it down. (You can also highlight it with your cursor, and copy the info. This will allow you to paste it in to the wizard later on.)

Step 3 Click Start and then Control Panel. Locate the Printers icon. Click the Add A Printer icon.



Step 4 Click Add a Local Printer. Use this option only if you don't have a USB printer. (Windows automatically installs USB printers when you plug them in).



Step 5 Select Create New Port. For the port type, select standard TCP/IP Port. Click Next.



Step 6 Click the drop down menu for Device Type and choose TCP/IP Device.

In the Hostname or IP Address field, input the ip address of your print server. (The default address for most of D-Link's print servers is 192.168.0.10).

The PORT NAME field is purely for identification purposes. This allows you to discern the port you've created later on for configuration.



Step 7 Windows will attempt to detect the printer. Please allow a few moments for the operating system to do this.



Step 8 Highlight the radio button labeled Custom and press the Settings button.



Step 9 Click the radio button labeled LPR.

The LPR Queue Name field will now become available. Here you will need to enter the Queue or Port name that you acquired in Step 1.

Check the box labeled LPR Byte Counting Enabled. Click OK.



Step 10 At this point, you'll be brought back to the previous window. Click Next.



Step 11 Windows will now attempt to detect and install the printer driver. If Windows is unable to detect the printer and find a matching driver, you will be given the option of selecting a printer from a list of available printer drivers.



Step 12 In the left window you have a list of manufacturers, and on the right side you have the various models. Select the model that pertains to your printer. Click Next.



Step 13 Next you will be prompted to give the printer a name. You can leave the default Windows name, or you can create your own if you wish. Click Next.



Step 14 Once the printer successfully installs you will be given the option to print a test page. If the test prints then the print server is configured properly. Click Finish.




You should be linked up now.

All the best

I went ahead and found the information you need on the HP tech support site please use the following link:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=ca&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=3673580&lang=en&cc=ca

1) Ensure you've run the D-Link supplied automatic configuration wizard. 2) Also ensure you have "Netbios over TCP/IP" enabled in your network settings. 3)Ensure you turn off "Bidirectional Printing" in the Ports tab and "Enabled Advanced printing features" in the advanced tab, for testing purposes. I know the printer connectivity is officially supported by D-Link (thru an independent 3rd party test facility) but it seems they may have had NetBeui installed, which is an outdated networking protocol. Try the first 3 options I gave, if they don't work, then let me know. ZT3000 "Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"

ok, y solved linking the printer with the application provided with the dpr, PS-link, its added a new port and printer and works fine since. hope helpfull

I am afraid there is no way for a User to repair the hard disk drives. Its a replacement or not. The drives are sealed in a clean environment. As soon as you take the covers off it, Its completely useless..Sorry , but thats computers for you..
Some companies do an exchange program, where you can send them the hard drive and they send you a new one. Well they used to, im not sure if this still happens...Suggest you goto the manufacturers website and see if they do it. Or, ask them..

Hope this helps.

Dlink support does not have a copy of the setup disk on their site. They want to charge me $12 for a replacment disk. Its nice how they are so cooperative.(NOT)

Hi, to make sure your printer is online. Please do these steps:

? On your windows 7 computer, please go to control panel and click printers and faxes.
? From printers and faxes, you can see your printer icon, right click the printer icon and select online.
? Try to print and that should be working.
