I can ping the the device but PS-Link does not discover it and the printer is "Offline"
No, that's not the problem. I have another machine (Vista) which can print to the device. I don't think you have sufficient expertise to resolve this.No, that's not the problem.

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.
The latest firmware for this print server only support Windows Vista and below , sorry to say that as of now it will not work with Windows 7. If Dlink releases a new firmware to make this unit with Windows 7 just need to update the firmware and you can use it for Windows 7 computers.
When I upgraded from XP to Windows 7, Iogear tech support told me that they had no intention of offering Windows 7 support for my GMFPSU22W6, so I dumped it and bought a D-Link DPR-1260 instead.
My DPR-1260 arrived yesterday and I set it up easily in minutes on both Windows 7 (32-bit Pro) and XP SP3 with 3 printers attached. So far I have only tried wired connection. Wi-fi may be more problematical. Printers are Brother HL-2040, HL-2140 and Samsung CLP-300. Could not get it to recognize my Canon Lide 25 scanner
Chapter 3 - Configuration This section will show you how to configure your new D-Link wireless print server using the web-based configuration utility. Web-based Configuration Utility The IP address of your print server will be automatically assigned by your router. To access the print server’s web-based configuration interface: Windows® XP users: Double-click on the My Network Places icon on your desktop. Your print server will be displayed as “DPR-1260: dlinkps-xxxxxx” (where xxxxxx is the last 6 characters of your print server’s MAC address). If you do not see the print server or have UPnP enabled, please refer to page 13. Windows® 2000 users: You will need to write down the MAC address located on the bottom of the print server (E.G. 00-54-23-45-f5-b6). Open a web browser and enter the following: http://dlinkps-XXXXXX XXXXXX = the last six characters of your MAC address. Note: Some printer software features may not work while connected to the print server such as ink level display.
This will prove the print server is working. If you can not access the web interface then it may not be getting an address from the router
I had the same problem. After many hours of trial and error, I got two XP laptops and a Vista desktops configured. Be sure to use the latest firmware from Dlink. Disable all s/w firewalls. In my case Norton Firewall from Yahoo was a problem. The Vista PC was configured to print within 30 mins and the XPs took a while. I couldn't get the print server to appear in the My Network Places A couple of the guys who left comments on the product at Newegg actually have a good solution. The solution involves setting the printers up as local printers with standard TCP/IP ports that point to the IP address or the URL ("dlink-"6_last_digits_of_MAC_ID) and USB port number 9100-9103. You can google how to set up local printers w/ TCP/IP connections with USB ports on the internet. Note the Scanner will not be recognized but at least you can print on MF4150.
To get into the web configuration you need to know your firmware on the DPR-1260. If it is 1.12, us http://dlinkps-xxxxxx where the X's are the last 6 number of the mac address. If it is 1.20 and up, use http://dlink-xxxxxx, where the x's are the last 6 number of the mac address. If you do set it up as DHCP or static and know the ip address of the print server just type in the ip address of the print server on the address bar.
No, that's not the problem. I have another machine (Vista) which can print to the device. I don't think you have sufficient expertise to resolve this.
Please, someone must be able to better than that!
