please re-install print server and printer

dont' worry about what the d-link site says. its because they haven't tested it. i got my dp-301u to work fine with my hp1020 on 2 different workstations with the following steps.

1. install printer locally via usb and test.
2. create a second printer as per the dlink manual creating a port. don't worry about the name as we will delete it.
3. once created go into the properties of the 2nd printer and change the port to something local - anything will do to free up the port.
4. go into the properties of the printer that was created in step 1. and change the port to that of the print server.
5. test print. should work fine.

cheers!!

The default IP is 192.168.0.10

or dlink.com

Why?

If you really need the upgrade, download the instructions and the updated firmware from DLINK's web-site, and follow the instructions.

Your print server has to have its own IP address. If you have your computer as 198.168.1.1 then your print server would be 198.168.1.2.
You cant have the same IP address on any 2 items on your network.

Check and see if the drivers are installed correctly and configured on both pc's.Then see if the printer is installed and that sharing is enabled on the network. Mike [email protected] let me know when you complete these steps and if it worked.

Make sure you have byte counting enabled if you are printing through LPR.

Yes. I just got mine working last night. Key is to enable print services for windows through the control panel. Without that LPR printing does not work.

USB light only comes on when the server is transferring data or talking to the printer. It is not supposed to be on all the time.

Primary solution is to enable all print services in Vista and XP. This is done through the control panel under Programs and Features or Add / Remove Programs. Enabled ALL print services, which is needed for LPR support.

It is 192.168.0.10

default IP address of DP-301U is 192.168.0.10

It should be fine as long as it is in the range that the router can recognize and that it doesn't conflict with another IP address used on another device. Usually on the networks I design I keep the printers on higher IP address so that they can be managed on a certain range.

Is this the wireless print server?

What specifically do you mean by PJL printer block?

This unit does NOT officially support Samsung printers... but it will allow printing with some. It does NOT support multi-function printers features like scanning for any brand of multi-function printers.
