Can't find my usb Printer on my D-Link DP 300U (DP-300U) Print Server What to do anyone

Just here D-Link - TechSupport FAQ

Your usb cable is bad, easy fix.

d link problum

This sounds like a defective driver problem with the print server. reinstall the driver. If this does not solve the problem then contact D-Link support for further advice.

First thing.. plug printer directly into PC.. does it work? .. if so its is a port setting. If now it is the device config on PC

If Port Setting Issues.. are you going through any other devices on the network or is you firewall blocking the IP.

If device Config issue check to see it is setup up as an IP Port not a normal local port

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!!

Check the Printer spool service. If documents are getting increase in que, restart the Printer spool services. It will definatly solve your problem.

I have just setup DP-300U rev.B1 with my Konica Minolta Bizhub 162, the thing is that it doesn't work with USB port connected (paper out), then I tried connecting Bizhub 162 to LPT port, and it works just fine...

You might try to browse to that disk and see if there are any setup files (usually named setup.exe or install.exe). I've seen some drivers don't need to be installed by an installation program not by the new hardware wizard.

DP-300U Print Server is not compatible with Sharp AR-5320. Pls check D-Link website on the list of compatible printer. For USB Print Server that is compatible with Sharp AR-5320 try Intellinet.
