This is what i have. PC running XP SP1. NetGear WGT634U wireless router, Linksys WPS54GU2 wireless G print server hooked up to a HP LJ 2550. Everything worked fine yesterday. I got a call saying the printer is printing out signs and symbols. Some kind of interfernce i'm assuming. After that every time i try and print a test page or anything for that matter the error message "PrintServer Connection Failed". All the settings on the router have not changed. i have connection with the router. the router is DHCP enabled. I turned off the firewalls. I turned off all security settings on the router and i still get the error. I reset the Print server, tried to reinstall the print server drivers with no success. I still get the error. I thought maybe a Microsoft update was the problem, so i did a system restore. Still no print server. What is blocking transmission to the print server? Did i miss something or is it possible that print server is malfunctioning? Please Help. Very very Stumped
 
I figured it out. I had set the Print server on static and the router on DHCP. So the router gave the IP i assigned the Print server to another computer.
