Installation of WPS54G Print Server
Using standard TCP/IP Procedure (Windows XP/2000)
Youshould be able to print on the device afterwards. You can refer to yourRouter's Wireless Settings and match them on the WPS54G so that theywould be able to communicate wirelessly.
To have your wireless settings checked if you are using a Linksys Wireless Router, here's how:
Wireless Security Check
Go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer (Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP)
When "Internet Explorer" opens type http://192.168.1.1 into the "Address" bar and click on Go
The "Enter Network Password" window will appear.
Skip
user name and type admin (admin is the default password) as the
password, and click OK If it does not accept the default password, try
the password you might have typed in when you ran the run me first CD
that came with your router.On
the Setup page of the router, click the Wireless Tab on the top and
take note of the SSID, change the channel to 1 3 5 7 9 or 11 to get a
better frequency then click the save settings button on the bottom. You
would need this for the wireless settings.Click
the Wireless Security Sub tab then take note of the KEY1 if WEP is
enabled, if this part is disabled then your router is for open
access(means no security is enabled and any device should be able to
obtain a connection). You should have no trouble connecting if this
part is disabled.After
typing in the network key on your wireless computer, your wireless
connection should be established. Launch your Internet Explorer, and
then you should be connected afterwards.Go
to your WPS54G's setup page by typing it's IP address on your address
bar. (You can get the IP address of your print server by pressing the
reset button on your device for 3 seconds then it will print out its
status).Leave the username blank and type admin as your password. Hit OK afterwards.
Click
the wireless tab on the top and make sure the SSID is the same as your
SSID on the Router. Then click the WEP key settings button if you have
WEP enabled on your Router.Save the settings.
Detach
the printserver from the Router and unplug its power cable. Plug it
back again and wait for the WLAN or Wireless light to turn on.Then try printing wirelessly now.
This
should get your printer working wirelessly afterwards. Make sure your
printer is online at all times. Hope your printer works! Good luck!

U can go to the printer setting Wireless settings & also select the default ip than you can install the Wireless-G printer
Contrary to the on-line advice that I have found, the Linksys wireless print server WPS54G is compatible with Windows 7. It is the installation program that is not compatible. While not as bad as the early days of setting hardware dip switches, the print server must be installed manually. Following are the many steps that I took to install my WPS54G to work with Windows 7; lengthy, but worth it.
1. Connect your printer to the PC using a USB cable and USB port. Allow the printer to install. Print a test page. Even though you just installed the printer, check for an updated printer driver at the manufacturer's website. I did this late in the process before I could get the printer to work. It installed an HP universal driver.
2. Set the printer as the default.
3. If you do not know the IP address of your print server, access the router using your browser. See your manual for instructions. For a Linksys, type the default IP router address 192.168.1.1 into the browser address bar. If you have done this in the past, set up your router security. The default user name is left blank and the default password is admin.
4. Connect your print server to the PC using a USB cable and USB port.
5. On the router locate the DHCP Client Table and determine the IP address of the print server. You might have to refresh the table. The default is probably 192.168.1.78.
6. Access the print server using your browser and the IP address of the print server. The default user name is left blank and the default password is admin. Set up security to match the router, SSID, password, type of encryption, etc.
7. Go to "Devices and Printers" (from the start menu), on the default printer icon that you just installed, right click and open "Printer Properties." Click on the "Ports" tab.
8. Click on "Add Port." Select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click on "New Port." Click "Next." Add the IP address of the print server (probably 192, 168.1.78) and call the port whatever you want. Click "Next."
9. After the port configures and you get the "Port Settings" tab (you can also get there by clicking on "Configure Port), change the protocol to "LPR" and click "LPS byte counting enabled." Use "p1" or P2" etc. for the "queue name."
10. Disconnect the print server from the USB port and let it sit for 30 seconds.
11. Disconnect the printer from the USB port.
