Printer problems

Nachen

Hi i have a old Samsung -ML1520 laser printer and i am trying to connect it
to a printserver first i bought a product from netgear, which i found out
wasnt compatible with the printer. And now i have bought the Hawking
HWPS12UG] Wireless-G Print and i am using a D-link Wireless router i think
the model is called 524. But anyway when i install the print server it
recognizes the print server direct via ethernet cable, and everything works
fine until final test "printing", it wont print. Ive tried everthing
changing the ports for for the printer, changing the ip for the printserver.
Checking the printserver is connected to the wireless router. The print
server recognizes the printer on it. But still cant print. Any suggestions
or do i have to face the fact that my printer might not is compatible with
"print server nr.2". My printer is a couple of years old, could this be a
problem with compabillity. Im using Windows XP sp. 2. And i have opened for
the port that the print server uses on my router. And all firewalls are
disabled.*
Finishing note I HATE PRINTSERVERS.

Please Help

Thx Nachen

A strong possibility--
Many printers have a printer status utility that does not work properly with
a standalone printserver.
If this is the case, the solution is to disable status monitoring (Usually a
printer driver option), and possibly remove the monitor module from whatever
"starts" it.
You may also need to disable "bidirectional printing" in the printer driver.
You may find the module is a .dll type and begins with s (for samsung) and
has mon usually in the part of the name immediately before the .dll


Windows settings in networking can also be an issue.
in bindings you should see under print sharing
NW Link IPX/SPX/Net BIOS (etc)
Internet protocol TCP/IP
(These are print server dependent, in that both may not be required for a
given print server and network configuration.)
Other settings may also be required as well in other than the bindings
section.

Did you install any software specifically for and unique to the print
server?
Have you checked the mfrs web site for updated info and possibly software?
