Please log in for more thread options 1. Installed Dell 725 print drivers on laptop 2. Hardwired printer to laptop; printer works fine 3. Set up US Robotic 5461 router/print server 4. Able to surf web via router 5. plugged printer into usb port of router 6. "printer active" led on router lights up 7. installed a second Dell725 printer as a network printer, per USR instructions (as http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer). Suceeded to completion 8. Tried to do a test page from windows printer properies. Got an error message "Failed to print test page...Cannot create print job". 9.Tried to do a print from Notepad; no error messages (nothing queued up in the laptop print queue) 10. Reconnected the printer hardwire to the laptop; still worked Any thoughts? I surfed Microsoft for the error message, and it made references to needing the password for the printer. I tried the "configure ports" on laptop (allowed me to enter username/password). I used the username password for the management screen of the router. Tried the other 2 options (anonymous and user's login credentials); no change Any thoughts? | |||||||||||||
