More Network Printing

I've now discovered what works for my network printing. If you run the belkin wizard, it should find the print server. Leave the encryption at none - the settings don't get overwritten as I previously thought. You also need to ensure that the printer is installed before running the wizard.

When the wizard completes it should all be setup ok apart from the following. On the printer settings (right click on the printer icon and click Properties). On the ports tab you need to make sure that bidirectional printing is off. You also need to click once on the port for your printer (belkin port) and then click on the Configure Port button. Click on the advanced options and if you have the printer connected to port 1 (the lower socket) in queue name put lp1 then click OK twice. On the advanced tab I have all the check boxes clear at the bottom. I'm not certain that any of this is essential but it works for me. The rest of the settings can be left at the default values.

Finally, most importantly, you need to cycle the power on the print server. This can be done either physically or remotely via the web interface and all should be well.
