Once you have setup the print server with its Wireless Settings and Static IP address, setup the ports on Mac OS. On Mac OS, open System Preferences and select ‘Print & Fax’. Click on the "+" icon (lower left) to add a printer. Click on the IP Printer icon (top). Select "Line Printer Daemon – LPD" and do the following: • In the Address field, enter the IP address of the Print Server. • In the Queue field, enter L1. • In the Name field, enter L1. • Select the printer manufacturer from the pull down menu. • Select the printer model from the scroll box. • Click "Add". A window should appear showing your newly added printer "L1". Click L1 once to select it. Then click "Printer Setup" (middle right). The Printer Setup window will open. Click on the "Installable Options" pull- down menu and select "Name & Location". The Name and Location window will open. Do the following: • Change Printer Name to the IP address of Print Server • Change Location to IP_[IP of Print Server]P1 i.e. IP_192.168.1.xx P1 • Click on Apply Changes.

If you have any windows computer then you can run the setup CD for this Print Server and configure it with an IP address. Alternately you can get the IP address of this Print Server from the DHCP Client Table. If you router allows static DHCP then you can simply get the MAC address of this print server from the bottom of the unit and configure the Static DHCP for this MAC address you don’t need to configure it with static IP at all. |

Great note with helpful info. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work on my system. I've got several Dell and Gateways on the LAN (WRT54GL) that work fine with the printserver. I have a MacMini and MacBook Pro on the same system, and followed your instructions, but cannot seem to get it to fly. They do work if they are hooked directly to the printer. I'd like to get it rolling since I am moving from Outlook (WinXP) and Quicken (WinXP) to Entourage (Mac), Quicken Mac and Quickbooks Mac. Definitely would like to print from the laser (HP LJ1320). If that works, I'll want to network the Canon PIXMA MP500 as well, but for now that just sits on the Mini. The error I get from the Mac is something like: Network host 192.168.1.147 is busy, down or unreachable; retrying in 30 seconds.. eventually I get a time-out error. Still works fine from the Windows PC's. Anyone have any ideas/hints?
