Wireless print server cannot connect to router

Hi - I just got the FiOS installed. When I went to set up my print server via wireless, it has failed. It has previously been connected via Ethernet and worked just fine. The print server thinks its connect to the AP/router but the FiOS router does not see it. I went into the system logs and see the following errors:
Feb 13 09:56:29 2009 System Log Message daemon.warn sys_if_ioctl_mii_execute:507: Both tried MII ioclts 8947/89F0 failed: Operation not supported.
[repeated 2 times, last time on Feb 13 09:56:29 2009]
Feb 13 09:55:06 2009 System Log Message daemon.warn DNS: unknown PTR name format
[repeated 4 times, last time on Feb 13 09:55:51 2009]
Any ideas?
Solved!

I figured out how to fix this. Took a while but here it is if other run into the problem:

2008 R2 printer server, cannot connect to printer, access denied, Windows 7 OS only

Deployed new Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, added print and document controll. Added several network printers on R2 server. We currently have mostly Vista biz clients but half a dozen W7Pro clients also. The Vista clients connect to these new network
printers, no problem but none of the W7 clients will connect. I select the printer from the drop down directory list and select to load the drivers, the system starts loading drivers and then right before it finishes it stops with error message, "Windows cannot
connect to the printer. Access denied. Again, this happens only with the W7 clients on our domain, Vista works fine.

By default, the security settings for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 allow users who are not members of the local
Administrators group to install only trustworthy printer drivers, such as those provided with Windows or in digitally signed printer-driver packages. You may want to install printer-driver packages on the print server
or in the clients. More details can be found this page: Cannot

Window Server cannot connect to Router?

I have installed a windows server 2012 r2 datacenter on virtual box using windows7. I installed AD Ds, DHCP and DNS on it. To install DHCP on window server I first disabled the DHCP service on my router and then on server I changed the ip address to static(10.1.10.2)
and added default gateway as 10.1.10.1 (IP address of router). But by doing that my server and other computer connected to network are not connecting to router.(i tried pinging router)? I am a student and I am working on a test lab using d-link router which
is further connected to main house router.
Thanks

My Router is a Verizon Fios Router and when i press and hold the "Wi-fi Protected Setup" Button, the printer doesn't automatically find the network or signal or whatever it should connect to and the wireless light on the printer does not light up unless it is pressed.
--3 sheets were printed when i was setting up the printer at first, I don't know what buttons I pressed to do this but the three papers are labeled on top as:
1.)"Hp Network Configuration Page"
2.)"Wireless Network Test Report"
3.)"Number of 802.11 networks discovered: 11"
--Not printed in that specific order though.
I need help please!!

First, WEP is not in the least secure. Also, it will not work with Wifi Protected Setup (WPS).
Change WEP to WPA or WPA2, create a passphrase that is at least 13 characters, numbers and letters, upper and lower case and try again. Of course, all of your wireless devices will have to re-login to the wireless network after you change it.

I have a HP2101nw wireless print server and it will not connect to my router.

The status of my wireless print server always says it is not connected and idle on both my laptops. I have tried to connect through the advanced settings but it does not find my router. I have tried to connect manually but it fails. Could a firewall be blocking it? My router works fine on the internet for both laptops. Any ideas?

If other wireless devices are connecting OK, you know that the AirPort Express is operating correctly since all devices are receiving the same wireless signal from the Express.
It's possible, but extremely unlikely that there will be other Samsung phone users on an Apple support forum, so I would suggest that you check with Samsung support to reset the Samsung phone back to default wireless settings so you can set up a new connection again.

Wireless Computer, Wireless Router, Wireless Print Server

I am having difficulty with a specific configuration trying to print wirelessly.
I have no problem printing from my iBook G4, Power Mac Dual G4 750, Dell Notebook, or Compaq Presario Desktop using this configuration: Linksys Wireless-G router and Linksys Wireless-G Print Server.
As long as the Print Server is connected to the Router via an ethernet cable, the network works fine - I can print from any computer.
The problem I am encountering comes from the fact that I now want to use the Print Server with another printer that is a seperate room from the router (I don't want to connect it with an ethernet cable). This shouldn't be a problem since it's a wireless print server.
I had always used a static IP to access and configure the router, but now that I have removed the ethernet connection I can't log in. In fact, when it is plugged into a different port on the router (via ethernet) I can't log into it either. When I reconnect it the original way, it is not problem.
Running the original install software on my PCs doesn't help either.
How can I make this work?
Can my wireless computers (e.g. iBook with Airport Extreme wireless card) talk directly to the Print Server, or does it talk to the Print Server via the wireless router?
I don't have an Airport base.
Any help would be appreciated.

I do not think I can help you with your question however I have the same router and print server and I too have never been able to get the print server to work wirelessly. It's a real kick in the head too because the linksys tech nubs just talk you around in a circle saying that the deivce is wireless but that you have to use the wire. I don't know maybe its me...
Nonetheless I now have a mac laptop that works the the router but I can not get the powerbook to connect the the print server. I would be interested to know how you go your mac to work with you first printer.

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

Can't connect wireless print server

I've been pulling my hair out trying to configure a D Link DPR-1260 wireless print server to work with a D Link wireless router on my system. I know I probably should have used Airport devices but then again I've always had trouble getting those things to talk to each other, too. Must be bad wifi karma or something. I've posted at the D Link site as well but they don't have many Mac users who can help with the setup. Anyone got a tip?

Hi Bennyk-

Can't connect to wireless print server

Hi
Have just got a new MacBook, am in the process of moving over from Windows but I can't get my Kyocera FS-1010 printer working via its wireless print server (Kyocera SB-70).
The printer works fine via USB cable but says its busy when using ipp.
Have tried to ping the print server but it times out.
Everything works with the Windows PCs on the same Lan.
Any help would be appreciated.
Baz

Happy New Year Barry,
Thanks for the info. With the Mac you could use the same settings XP uses. The queue is to add the 'ipp' for the Queue name and don't worry about the 631 port - this will happen when you select IPP.
So far clarity, the settings you need after you select IP > IPP are:
Address: 192.168.11.2
Queue: ipp
Name & Location are free text so whatever you want
Print Using: The Kyocera driver - but you could also try Generic PCL Laser if the printer supports PCL. Some vendors drivers don't work that well with print servers, although I would expect that if Kyocera make the print server then their Mac driver should work, but you may want to check as possibly only the Windows driver works when networked.
However until you can get a response from the print server with the Ping then you won't get very far with the above. Seems unusual you can ping XP PCs and vice versa and they can print fine. Pings can be blocked by firewalls although the default software firewall in Mac will allow you to ping. Are you using any other anti whatever software on the Mac that could block the ping?

Airport Express questions on wireless print serving

I have a wireless network setup using a linksys router and thinking about using an Airport Express as a wireless print server in another room. I currently have a Canon MP500, 2 wired PCs connected to the router and 2 wireless laptops one Windows and an iBook. Would the Airport Express connect to my existing wireless network to act as a wireless print server for my network?
Thank you
PCs running Windows XP Pro and iBook is running OS X Tiger

Hi, does anyone know how to change the port setting on Windows XP Pro. I recently purchased an Airport extreme and the network is working great, however when I tried to set up the printer the documentation left some key peices of information out.
I had followed the step for installing a printer, but when I got to the point about specifing the adapter type, the documentation in the manual that came with the Airport skipped over that part. I guessed at the adapter and unfortunatly (and obviously after reading the instructions here http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1008.html) I chose the wrong adapter. Now I want to go back and fix it but I can't figure out how. When I tried to run the add printer wizard again and the port setting wizard it said the port (IP_10.0.1.1) was alread in use and kicked me out of the wizard.
How do I change the settings on the port to the correct settings?
Thanks

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 set up standalone wireless print server

I need step-by-step instructions on to set up a KonicaMinolta bizhub multifunction printer to print wirelessly from various Macs. In other words, it would not be hooked up to the internet or my wireless network. I understand this can be done with an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme. I tried it with a Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server without success. I'd like to try the AirPort Express, but so far haven't been able to get it to work.
How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server? How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
How do I find the print server's IP address?
When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server?
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) can only operate as a "print" server if the printer is attached to its USB port. Ethernet printers would require their own print server service if connected by Ethernet to either router.
How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
Neither router would need a WAN port connection as both can provide a stand-alone wireless network. For a USB printer, it would need to be connected to the respective router's USB port.
How do I find the print server's IP address?
This would be the AirPort's LAN IP address. The default is: 10.0.1.1
When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
The flashing amber indicates that the AX has configuration issue. If you temporarily connect your MacBook directly to the AX's Ethernet port, and then, run the AirPort Utility, you can find out what the issue(s) is(are).
If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
No, you would have to switch wireless networks. One way around this, is to have the AX configured to "Join a wireless network." This mode was specifically designed to allow the AX to perform as a wireless client and simultaneously provide both print sharing and iTunes streaming to network clients.
If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
Potentially, but your computer and the printer will be on separate broadcast domains/subnets.

Using a wireless print server... help!

Hi. I have a G5 on a wireless network using a LinkSys WRT-54G router. I just got a wireless print server (D-Link DPR-1260) and want to network my HP 6110xi All-in-one printer. 6110 drivers are installed, and printer previously worked fine when connected directly to computer via USB port.
Now, I want to share it over the wireless network. I believe I have the print server correctly configured... just not sure how to configure my G5 to print across the network to this printer. How do I set it up?
Particulars:
- LinkSys WRT-54G, 802.11g wireless router, firmware v4.20.7 (192.168.0.1)
- D-Link DPR-1260, wireless print server, firmware v1.00 (192.168.0.10, static)
- HP 6110xi All in One, latest drivers from HP downloaded and installed.
- iMac G5, (192.168.0.100, dynamic IP)
Thanks for any help provided. Regards.

Hi JD77!
And Welcome to Apple Discussions
You have 2 computers respectively connected each to a printer.
DSL Modem (ethernet)
||
PC1 = Printer1 (USB) (Win)
PC2 =Printer2 (USB) (iMac)
PC3 WIFI WinXP laptop
The iMac has built-in Bonjour technology. So use that. If your windows PC has XP you can download Bonjour for that one as well and use that to share your printer.
What you can do is use the Airport Express and connect it to a USB printer. Make sure that it is compatible printer.
Here are some articles you can read:

Printing to a Linksys Wireless Print Server with my MAC

have a small home network using an ATT DSL modem-router. I have several PCs hardwired to the router and 1 older MAC wireless. I have a MAC G4 laptop and a Dell laptop (my wife's) also connected wirelessly and all work well. I have added a Linksys wireless print server today and am able to get my wife's laptop to print easily and reliable as does the hardwired Dell. What I need is to get my MAC laptop to print wirelessly as well. I have tried all the options in the printer set-up but it does not see the print server. Linksys does not support MAC and there are no MAC drivers for the print server to download that I know of. Does anyone know of a fix on how I could configure this equipment so I can print wirelessly from my MAC laptop. Or perhaps bypass the print server and print using the modem-router and the same printer. I would appreciate any suggestions one could lend. Thanks much.

Looking at figure 8-5 and the text to its left in the User Guide.
Click Add in Printer Setup, then select IP printer > IPP. Enter the print server's IP address AND queue name P1. With that info filled in OS X has all it needs to address the printer on the print server.
Download and install the CUPS driver version 1.1.0, and choose it when you Add in Printer Setup.

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.
