Wireless Print Server Problem

[FoxEgg]

I have a DLink DP-310 Wireless Print server which I have successfully configured to work with a Wireless Access Point and I can print from WINDOWS Programs to the Print server (an HP 1015 hangs from it) ... but I cannot 'see' the PrintServer on the network neighbourhood.

This means that I can't use the command

NET USE LPT1 \\Printservername\printer

to print from my DOS programs...

We have two other Print Servers WIRED to the network and I CAN see them, and I can address them with the NET USE LPT1 command

However, I can find the shared printer on the Network Neighbourhood connected to the Computer on which it is configured.

But

NET USE LPT1 \\SERVER\hp1015

does not work

It would be so easy if the Print server showed up on the Net Neighbourhood... but it doesn't

I can ping the PS 192.0.0.111 and it replies

I tried

NET USE LPT1 \\192.0.0.111\hp1015
[\code]

No good..


Any suggestions...

Well sometimes venting the spleen on the Tek-Tips is enough of a stimulus to solve one own's problems... its a bit like psychotherapy... Computo-psycho-therapy...

I found the answer...

Type 192.0.0.111 into the Web Browser
That brings up the configuration page for the Print Server
Go to Configuration tab
Note the Port Setting USB address (in my case PS-67C7E9-U1 and then use the command

NET USE LPT1 \\192.0.0.111\PS-67C7E9-U1

and it works...

Thanks for letting me vent...
