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?

Try connecting the printer as a local printer, printing to a local
TCP/IP port. This is usually the most trouble-free way to connect to a
consumer grade print server.
