I purchased a Netgear PS101 print server to share my printer with my home network utilizing a Linksys BEFW11S4 router. I installed the Print server software and connected it to my router via hard line. The problem is when I go into my Linksys Router to set up the printer I can't see where to define the IP for the printer.
The Print server software doesn't see it either. What am I missing here? Or could it be that my printer is not capable of using the printer server (Epson Stylus C62).
I am really new here but what I did to get my print server to work is the following:
1- Made sure my print server was not plug up yet then open up my routers config. page ie. 192.168.x.x.
2- Took inventory of all the ip addresses that were presently in service.
3- Plugged up my print server to router; make sure all the lights on the print server are active.
4- Configured my print servers ip section to auto. ( I had tried to manually configure the ip address with no success).
5- Referred back to my routers config page to see what had been added. Note: I had to refresh the page to notice any changes.
6-Use the newly added ip for my ip printing address when I "add printer".
7- Unchecked the "que server name"
8- Entered "lp1" as my que name
8- Selected my printer type ie. hp 750
9- Added the printer.
I hope this helps you. Good luck & let me know if this helped.
Something I realized a little later is if your print server doesn't show up on your router's web page try unplugging the power to the print server and re-plugging it up. Make sure you have paid close attention to the ip addresses that were listed before. Usually the one that is new to the router's web page is the print server.
