i have one of those printer servers and i noticed the usb part doesnt fuction properly. i did however learn that the usb port on the printerserver is version 1.1. while my printer is version 2.0. its an old HP printer.. (too poor to buy one of them new ones) Would this be the real issue? i really thought that versions of usb would be compatible with eachother. any sugesstions?
 
right after i installed the drivers it would print a test page. then i'd try to print sumthing, it would give me an error that said could not communicate with printer. could it be a windows 2k problem? should i be usin win xp instead? thanx to everyone who reads this as well. any sugestions or comments would help.
 
Since you are using win2k make sure you have all the latest patches from MS to make USB 2.0 work right. You may have to dig through the knowledge base some though.

oh.. well im using win xp sp 2 now.
 
Is it working now? On WinXP usb support is pretty good.
 
i really dont think its the computer, because i do believe i tried it on a diff computer with winxp. but never hurts to try again! so you seriously dont think its the printer server itself?
