Print Server WPS54G

Successfully connected my HP930C to my network but PC can't talk to it. Get an error -132. Is the PS firmware not compatible with Windows 7??
Thanks

Whats the model number of your Router?
Hardwired the Print Server to your Router, login to the setup page of your router and under the DHCP Client table list your will find the IP address of your Print Server... Using that IP address you can try to login to the setup page of Print Server...
Once login to the setup page of Print Server, Input the wireless settings (SSID, Security Key) on it and click on Save Settings, then assign a Static IP to the Print Server and click on Save Settings..

Why is there an ANTENNA on my Print Server WPS54G?

Okay, I have a weird question to ask. Why do I have an antenna on my printer server WPS54G when I am tethered to my wireless router? From what I understand, tech support told me that you must have a wireless router to work with your print server. If that's the case, why bother of having an antenna? Can someone explain to me as to what the antenna supposed to do if I am to be hard wired to my wireless router all the time even though I am all done setting it up and configuring the print server thru my wireless router?
Many thanks

Most wireless devices (especially the G-tech devices) haev been designed with antennas. So this would mean that it is wireless capable. I do not understand why you have to hard wire the device to the router? If you have succesfully configured the print server then it should connect wirelessly to the network and no need to wire it to the router. You only need to wire the print server to the router during configuration.

Linksys Wireless Print server WPS54G

Has anyone tried the Linksys WPS54G wireless print server to work on their Macbook? I don't use a wireless for general networking at home, can I still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print using Macs?

You need to consider the driver for your printer first!!!!
Network printing/Windows printing only works with a driver that was meant for network printing. To use the OS X built-in CUPS network choices, you need a CUPS driver. For postscript printers, it's not an issue, because postscript is the native output of OS X, and can easily be routed to the various choices in Printer Setup.
Non-postscript printers are Very Different. Except for Brother, no manufacturer has provided CUPS drivers. Instead, what you get are Carbonized, OS9 legacy drivers, that have the comm protocol written into the driver (mostly USB). They can only print via local connection.
**Exception - when printing via an Airport/Bonjour enabled print server, where the software does a port redirection, USB output from the Mac gets routed to the USB port on Airport Express/Extreme.
Linksys doesn't do this Apple-only USB port redirection...

HP C309a set-up with wireless print server

My HP C309a wireless radio no longer seems to work (run diagnostics, reset to factor defaults, etc, over and over without luck), so now I'm trying to set it up with a Linksys Wireless-G print server (WPS54G). I've gone thru all of the linksys print server set-up steps, but the wireless connection fails. I turned off the wireless radio on the printer, but are there other steps I need to take to get the wireless print server to work with this printer? Thanks.

Have you reset the printer - turn it off, hold # and 6 keys while turning back on. This can sometimes reset the wireless radio....sometimes not.
Honestly, I don't know a lot about wireless print servers other than they are hard to set up and its best if the server and your router are made by the same company - and that they usually only support printing.
Another off the wall option is to use powerline Ethernet (google it). This uses the power lines in your home to transmit Ethernet signals.

NM Ver. 5.2.8354.0-Pure0
Platform Ver. 11.1.8350.0
Windows XP SP3
Linksys Print Server WPS54G
Linksys Router, RangePlus Wireless G
When I run the Linksys Print Server software to add a computer, nothing happens. When I run the software to locate the print server, nothing happens.
Network Magic recognizes the computer, the router and the print server. I can access the print server admin from NW Magic, and the computer, but not the router.
I am printing remote from other computers on the wireless nw, but cannot remote print from this computer.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled NW Magic, and added the exception to the firewall.
Thanks for any help.

Hi bobtex, are you using Windows Firewall or a 3rd party one like McAfee, Norton or ZoneAlarm?

Detecting wps54g print server

Hi,
I can't seem to detect my print server Wireless-G WPS54G. Its ip address
is not known. I can't detect it through the set up installation. I have
tried pressing the reset button to get a print out of its current
status, but it does not work. The printer will show that it is in the
process of printing, but in the end there is no actual print out.
The print server looks to be working. All the lights are on, usb,
wireless, ethernet, power.
Please advice on the possible actions to take to resolve this issue.
thank you.

What's the model number of your router ?
If you are using a Linksys router then you can check the Print Server Ip address Open the Setup page of the router -Click on Status - Local Network - Click on DHCP client table.

Printing via Linksys WPS54G Print Server

i'm trying to get my new macbook connected to my wireless print server. everything in the printer set up seems straightforward, i've entered the server ip address and it's recognized. the hitch is the list of canon printers available...all bjc's. mine is an ip5200. anyone know how to add to the list of printers?
thank you.

Here's a very informative article from the Mac OS Hints site regarding your wireless print server and getting it to work with Macs. I hope you find it useful.

Wps54G linksys print server

Anybody had success with any of the available apps printing via a wireless print server? server and set up works fine for 2 pcs, but so far, I can't seem to get any of the print apps to find it, much less the printer.

I actually have that router and an old HP printer and am able to successfully print from my IPad (Pages, Numbers, Safari, eMail and Keynote). I use no special apps.
But unlike the configuration in your original post, my printer is connected (wired) to the router via USB cable. Plus, my computers are all PCs. So, that may be where our similarities end.
For me, the fist sep was to configure my wired printer to the router and successfully print from all of my wireless computers in the house. I set up that print server years ago and followed the instructions for setting up a print server from the Linksys site and router documentation. This is really a separate task from the real deal, which is getting the IPad to print acros the wireless network.
The second step was labor intense for me, because every step in the process required me to learn something new along the way. For example, I had to research how to log on to my own computer as an administrator to perform one of the steps. My point is, if you don't have the aptitude or patience to perform a task from pretty vague instructions, you'll get frustrated.
The instructions that I followed to enable printinfrom my IPad are at the following URL:

Here's the URL for Mac configurations:

For the Windows site, there are lots of questions and answers at the bottom of the instructions.

Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
"the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
and
"the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
Thank you

1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

Corleone
I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G. This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G. I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work. I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server. Am I missing a step?
Here is what I've done
Go to ports
Add new port
Standard TCP/IP Port
Click new port (Wizard comes up)
Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
LPR Byte count box checked
Click next and finish
Do I need to restart my computer?
What am I missing
Thank you

Wireless print server with Mac G4 and Dell PC's

I have a belkin wireless router and a linksys WPS54G print server. Hardwired by ethernet cables to the router are two computers 1) Dell 2400 and 2) Apple G4.
I am trying to get the Apple to print to the printserver. the linksys software set the Dell up and the print server and they work fine. I have tried everything i can on the Apple but no luck. Seems to be the driver. The printer is printing gibberish from the mac. The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R320. I dowmloaded the drivers for Mac OS 10.4.4... from the epson website - I chose each one for the printer on my MAC and tried to print. The result was either no print out or differing gibberish each time. What can I do?

Please search this forum. Your precise issue has been covered several times. You have to use a CUPS driver for network printing - Epson's drivers are Carbon, not CUPS. Start by updating the Gimp-Print drivers that Apple included in OS X to the next newer version, now called Gutenprint 5.0.0:

Laserjet 5P to wireless print server

I have Laserjet 5P. I want to connect to this wirelessly from my new HP laptop. Wireless print server (e.g. Netgear WGPS606) has only USB or ethernet sockets. Is it possible to connect 5P via an adaptor? Or is parallel port connection incompatible? I don't mind if print speed is reduced, just so long as I can make the connection. Please help.

I too had this problem. I'm posting this because the technique described didn't work for me. This may help someone else. I could login to the print server's admin page through Safari using its IP address. However, I could not get a straight answer from Linksys "we don't get trained on Mac" on how to make it print. Here is what I did:
Problem: difficulty printing from an iMac (wireless Airport) to a USB printer connected to a Linksys WPS54G v2.0 print server:
Under the Apple Menu, go to System Preferences>Print & Fax
Click + to add a new printer
Select IP from the top list of printer types
Under Protocol select Internet Printing Protocol - IPP
Under Address type in the IP address of the print server (e.g. 192.168.1.12)
Under Queue - leave blank
Under name - type in IP address of the print server (if not already filled in)
Under Location - leave blank
Under Print Using - select "select a driver to use" and choose the make and model of the printer connected to the print server.
Click Add
The printer should now be visible in the Print & Fax dialog box on the left hand side. Now test it by opening an application like TextEdit, type something and hit print. If the pages come out with little text or blank, you've got the wrong driver.
This worked for me, however I still don't have the functionality I had with printing from my PC based laptop (i.e. duplex, draft, normal, best, etc, B&w only). I'll probably find a way to do this later. For now I can at least be productive at work again.
Cheers,
Ralf

Issues with Deskjet 5650 and Linksys wireless print server.

I have a iMac DP 1.8, a iMac G3 700 mhz running Tiger and a Toshiba laptop running XP and I am on a wireless network. I use a Linksys WRT54G router for the wireless and I am using a Linksys WPS54G wireless printserver to connect an HP Deskjet 5650 to the network. This was all working fine for the past 2 months until Monday evening when the Mac's lost connection to the printer. However the Toshiba can print to it just fine.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened. The iMac DP recently had a security update for intel installed this past Monday, but no updates have been installed on the G3 iMac. I have contacted Apple, HP and Linksys and they have been no help at all. Apple says it's a Linksys issue, Linksys says it's Apple issue and HP is just cluless. I would appreciate any assistance offered.
Thanks

Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

How to configure macbook for Linksys print server

I need to configure my Macbook for use with a linksys WPS54G wireless print server. I've been using it for months with my PC, but as I recall, the install CD basically said "contact Apple to use with a mac." Where to start, what to do?

Wireless Bridge vs Print Server

I just bought a network capable printer (10/100). I have a wireless network with a wrt54g. I want to connect the printer wirelessly in a distant room from the router. I have an extra wrt54g that I could use if possible to make the connection.
Should I get a WET54G wireless bridge and connect the printer through it, or should I just get a WPS54G wireless print server and connect the printer to the network with that?
What's the difference between the bridge and the print server, other than the USB port on the back of the print server? Is there any distinct advantage of one over the other?
Thanks!

Thanks gv. This is great!
I looked into the Hyperwrt-thibor. I found information that leaves me slightly confused. I must assume from the table below that "wrt_a" would be the "router" and "wrt_b" would be the "bridge/router". Correct? I gathered this from the IP address...
Basic WET Setup
                                                  WRT_A              WRT_B

Again, thanks much. It's great to learn something new. It's times like this that I realize just how little I know....
