Wireless Print Server (DPR-1260) - Manually Configure Printer Port

I am trying to get my DPR-1260 Wireless Print Server (PS) installed, and need help with manually configuring the printer port (per Dlink).
Status:
A) Before trying to install the PS, I was able to easily install (2) USB printers, see them, and print to them.
B) My new IMAC is hardwired to the router.
*Recent Actions:*
1) I've worked with Dlink and have verified that my network (my new IMAC, and my wife's wireless laptop (OS 10.39) see the PS (hooked directly to the router). It's IP address is 192.168.0.102 .
2) I hooked both printers to the PS, and the address sees both printers as installed, and provide with LPR information (both printers are now hooked to the PS). Dlink does not guarantee printer compatibility, but says that since the site sees the printers, gives me LPRs, that the probability is good that they will be compatiable.
3) My new IMAC sees this address in both OS and in XP (thru VM Fusion). My laptop (10.3x) also sees this address. However, I'm not able to install this printer.
4) Per Dlink, I need to manually configure the printer port to install the PS.
5) Dlink kept sending me to the Print Utility, but from what I see, that does not exist in 10.5.
How do I manually configure the printer port to see the PS?
Now, I am stuck, and help?
Many thanks

As DLink have said, you will have to manually configure a LPR queue to connect to your printers. The print utility in 10.5 is the Print & Fax util in System Preferences. Open this and choose to Add . Select IP and then LPR. Enter the ip address of the PS. Then you will need a queue name for the respective USB ports, such as P1 and P2, or something similar. Hopefully the DLink info mentions this so that you can print to the desired printer.
The final bit of info you will need to know is whether the printer driver for each printer will work in this type of network. If either of them is a Canon then there is a good chance you will not be able to use supplied drivers. These types of connections require a third party driver, like Gutenprint, which is usually installed by default. If you are not sure, then please tell us which brands and models of printer you have.

  • Wireless print server DPR-1260/Canon i9900 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    Hello,
    I have recently got my Mac Book Pro and have the latest system (10.6.1) and cannot print with a wireless print server. I have a Dlink DPR-1260, and a Canon i9900 printer. I have done everything and I still cannot print. Please I need help!!!!
    Susan

    Hello Susan and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately the Canon Mac drivers have never worked correctly with the wireless print servers. I tested a Dlink model some years ago and while the Windows drivers for the same model would work fine, the Mac driver would always fail.
    The only solution was to use the Gutenprint driver suite for Mac OS X. This software provided drivers for many brands of printers including Canon, and got our A3 inkjet working - albeit it wasn't always available as it seemed to never wake from sleep mode.
    Checking the Gutenprint drivers included with 10.6, which are added when you do a custom install or by running the Optional Installer package within the 10.6 DVD, the i9900 is not listed as a supported model. It appears that only the Canon version of the i9900 driver is included with 10.6.
    So, you have some decisions to make...
    1. Don't use wireless and just have the i9900 plugged in directly to the Mac via USB
    2. Replace the Dlink with an Airport Express. Due to the way in which Apple has made their Airport units, they will let you use the Canon driver.
    3. Keep the Dlink and purchase an alternate driver software package called Printfab. If you are printing mostly graphics on the i9900 then this driver suite can provide you with more colour control than the Canon driver. And it will work with the Dlink like the Gutenprint drivers do.
    Hope this helps

  • Wireless printing with 2 (or more) printers + manual network configuring

    Here's my previous question:
    Network configuration: Cable modem (Linksys)-Wired cable router (Linksys)-Airport Extreme Base Station. Wired cable router is used for VOIP phone which is left on 24/7. Base station is shut off when not in use. I had 2 printers, HP multifunction and Samsung color laser printer connected to the Airport via a USB hub, but I could only print from 1. The printer I wanted to use had to be ON and then the Airport turned on to recognize it. So, I purchased a dLink DPR-1260 wireless printer hub. It had to be configured with a Windows operating system, which I did with an XP business laptop. The printer hub had to be configured wired and then the Cat 5 cable removed. The IP address: 10.0.1.2 (dynamic) is what Airport gives whenever anything is plugged into that port. MAC address: 001E589D8035 (which is what the printer hub says on it). SSID is correct. Raw TCP port and LPR/LPD enabled. Re-established Firewall and WPA2 security. Both printers work fine (even scan on HP) wirelessly with Windows XP laptop.
    However, neither printer works with either MAC (G5 or iBook) Although they both (HP & Samsung) appear to be ready and start the printing process by downloading percentages of the job.
    New info: The IP address of the dLink (DPR-1260) print server is now 10.0.1.3 (Airport is 10.0.1.2) I can connect to 10.0.1.3 thru Safari (or Firefox) and see the device info. I can't configure there. dLink told me to manually configure in network preferences. Their instructions told me to manual change the print server address to 102.168.0.x (x not 10). Then make Appletalk active. When I tried to add the DPR-1260 on the network is said IP Config 10.0.1.3 in use by 00:1e:58:9d:80:35 I guess I need to start over. How can I add the DPR-1260 manually to the network?

    xee -
    You have two simultaneous problems. Print Server setup, and network-capable CUPS driver required for each printer. Unless either printer is a postscript one, the drivers provided by the manufacturers are Carbon-type, limited to exactly what they programmed it for - probably USB only. That's why Airport Extreme/Express have an advantage over other print servers - Apple has put Mac-to-Mac printer sharing into Extreme/Express, so a USB-only driver works over the network. Other print servers require use of the industry-standard comm protocols LPD or raw port 9100 (=HP Jetdirect) or IPP. Those standard protocols are provided by CUPS and you have to use a CUPS driver with them.
    Make it work:
    1. Allow the print server to get its IP address just as it has.
    2. Install CUPS drivers:

  • DPR 1260 Wireless Print Server not recognized on Macbook Pro

    Please help. I am a first time Mac user. I have a D-link wireless print server that is connected to a HP Office Jet 6200 all in one. For some reason I cannot set up the wireless print server. A couple questions: I enter the IP address when I set up a new printer. Still nothing. Do I need to select IP printing when setting up a new printer? Is D-link wireless printing supported by Leopard? When I plug in direct via USB - Mac prints no problem. Tech support really couldn't help - neither could D-link. Does anyone know step by step how to set up? Explain it to me like I'm 4 years old. Thanks.

    You have two issues going at once.
    Driver - There are two kinds of print driver on OS X (not like Windows) - Carbon and CUPS. CUPS drivers are required to use the standard network print protocols provided in OS X by the CUPS system - IP printing and Windows printing. But HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for non-postscript printers. They provide Carbon drivers where they have limited the driver to USB only. To get a CUPS driver for your model, install the 3 part hpijs:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    Print & Fax prefs setup -
    I call your attention to page 19 of the print server manual. Dlink simply has "no clue" about OS X. The easiest comm protocol for you is HP Jetdirect, which equals TCP/IP raw port 9100. That is for USB port 1 -- for the other USB ports you will need to use advanced setup in Print & Fax.
    So, plug the printer into USB port 1 and set up using IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol, selecting your new hpijs driver.
    Good luck.

  • DPR-1260 Print Server

    I am trying to setup my new DPR-1260 print server and it works find with my work windows machine but I can not seem to get it to work with my home MacBook Pro. It is talking (I think) back and forth between the print server and the laptop but I can not seem to pick the right printer driver. I have a Canon MP500 and it is working fine if hooked up directly through a USB port, but the print utility does not show it when I try to add the print server (LPD to a IP address and port). How can I find the MP500 driver through the printer utility program?
    Help!!!
    iMac (G4), MacBook Pro, iPod Mini, iPod Nano Mac OS X (10.4.7) Firewire Disk

    I just bought the same print server and can't get it set up in OS X at all.
    I've tried LPD and IPP with the correct queue name, but it won't take the printer.
    The printer is an HP PSC 1315xi (shows up as 'psc1310'). The PrintFab CUPS driver doesn't have my printer and I used some "Foomatic / hpijs" driver for Linux which doesn't work either. Windows looks like its using IP printing, but in OS X, I can't figure out where the correct driver is and the HP software installed is using some "HP All-In-One 4.0" driver that only shows up when the printer is installed via USB. I can't find it otherwise.
    I've tried the CUPS interface with lpd://0.0.0.0/psc1310 and lpd://0.0.0.0:9100/psc1310 -- 0.0.0.0 is just an example. I've also tried ipp in the same configuration. I'm thinking it might just be a driver, but I've tried the generic DeskJet drivers and they don't work either.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • D-link DPR 1260 Print Server nightmare

    I have a D-link DPR 1260 print server connected via ethernet to my network. I have set it up so I can print to an Epson Picturemate240 from a PC running XP. This works fine.
    I have read all the posts everywhere on the DPR 1260 and so far nothing can make it print from the imac, running Leopard. I can add the printer using LPD and the print servers ip address and printer queue name but nothing happens.
    I get the following error /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.1 failed, does this mean there is a problem with the mac before to gets to the print server?
    If I cannot solve this problem now it is going in the bin!
    I have not attempted to set it up wirelessly yet as there is no point unless I can print from a Mac.

    Thanks for the info Greg
    I reset the printing system but I still get the same error message. I tried using HP and LPD but still no luck.
    If I connect the printer directly to the mac I can print fine and I have two other network printers connected directly to the network which work fine. It is only when I connect a printer to the print server that it goes wrong.
    any other ideas?

  • Dlink DPR 1260 Print Server does not allow scanning anymore in 10.5

    The DPR 1260 was working fine under 10.4 on my PB G4 allowing shared printing and scanning. When I tried to use it under 10.5 on a MacBook, the print function still works but none of the advanced functions like Scanning from a shared USB Multifunction Scanner/Printer (Photosmart 3100) work. Any ideas?

    Come on - are you saying I dont know if I am using Windows or Mac OS X?? I've been using Macs only for about 17 years now
    No - its NOT multifunction via NETWORK - but Scanning via the Browser window. You can (on Mac OS 10.4) initiate a scan via a web browser and the resulting image is loaded in the browser window - you can then right click and then save the image. Works very well - on 10.4 - but on 10.5 (or on Intel Macs), the browser page for scan is not accessible anymore.
    Here's an emulator from Dlink site for this:

  • Connecting printer through wireless Print Server

    Wireless Dlink DPR-1260, hooked up to network. ( using Linksys wireless router and Windows XP Home)
    Two usb printer ports. Loaded HP laserjet 2300 series using the print server software wizard.. works fine...prints remotely.
    The P.S. created the tcp/ip ports and loaded the drivers after requesting the HP driver disk.
    But, when loading the HP color laserJet 2550 series, it asks for the disk, but says the driver inf files not available. I downloaded from the HP web site the XP drivers, and when I pointed to the unzipped files, said the same thing.
    I used the XP driver... should I have used the Universal Print Driver?
    On the P.S. screen the HP 2300 shows up as HP LaserJet 2300 series, and the LPR Queque name is : LaserJet 2300
    But when I manually loaded the 2550, The name shows up as HP color LaserJet 2550 ser and the Queque name is color LaserJet 25.
    Both printers work fine connected directly to the printer, but the 2550 will not print through the P.S.
    Since the drivers for the 2550 are loaded and it prints when hard wired, tell me how to find the drivers installed on the computer, so I can point to them there.
    Thanks

    Printing with the built-in network protocols (Windows Printing, IP printing) requires a CUPS print driver. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet) - their drivers are written to only use USB. You can try the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.
    There is no CUPS driver for your specific model, that I can find.

  • 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:
    AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode

  • Wireless Print Server Setup Issue

    I have tried to set my MacBook Pro utilizing my D-Link DPR-1260 print server. I get the following warning when I try to use the setup wizard:
    Unsupported Operating System. The Printer Setup Wizard supports only Windows XP/2000/98/ME operating systems. Your computer uses the MacIntel operating system.
    Troubleshooting Tips - Refer to the documentation that came with your print server for printer setup instructions specific to your operating system.
    I have read and reread the printer manual and nowhere does it say anything about Mac setups. I have sent two e-mails to D-link and both have been ignored. The Mac recognizes the HP printer and will print if attached to it. When I attach the printer to the print server it will work wireless when I use a Windows based laptop and I really don't want to load Windows if I can get away with it. I have a D-Link wireless router and it works perfectly with the Mac.  I found a thread dated late 2007 but the instruction gif's the person attached expired so I can't see the details that made it work with the older version of OS X.
    Any ideas so I don't have to purchase another printer server specifically for Mac???

    You need two things -
    First, the HP-provided driver (on OS X) was written to only support direct USB printing, so you need a CUPS driver. Check here to find that and install it:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    (click on "printers" in the blue bar and look up your printer.)
    Next, you need to read your print server manual and figure out what comm protocols are supported and then enter the right info into the Add printer dialog. For example, the print server's queue name (also called port name) is a required entry (not default) for the IP > LPD and IPP protocols. If the print server supports TCP/IP raw or port 9100 or socket printing, those terms are all equal to the IP > HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X. That protocol doesn't need a queue name, so it's usually easier for Mac users. I think L1 or P1 are typical queue names on Linksys servers.
    If you need more help, I need to know the print server model #.

  • 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?

    Ideas in lay language???

    Yes. Think this should be posted on the printing board. That said, I have a similar set up, D-Link wireless router and wireless print server.
    I found that I could not rely on Bonjour getting the printers to work. I suggest you take the following steps:
    1. Open the printer browser and click on add a new printer.
    2. Select the IP printer
    3. As the protocol select Line Printer Daemon
    4. Input the IP address for your wireless printer. I found I had to assign my print server a static address, which was 192.168.0.10
    5. Input the Queue. This is probably takes the form of something like "PS-xxxxxx-U1" where the x's are numbers and U1 represents the USB printer you've assigned to the U1 port when you set up the wireless print server.
    6. Select your printer at the bottom of the browser window and click Add.
    This is the only way I was able to get my HP's to print.

  • Printing to Belkin Wireless Print Server

    I currently have a wireless network set up in which 3 computers wirelessly print to an HP PSC 750 through a belkin print server. I now have a MacBook pro and want to be able to print to the same printer. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

    For driver, you'll need to use a third-party CUPS driver, like the Gimp-Print drivers included in OS X. If the 750 isn't in that, update to the new version of Gimp-Print, now called Gutenprint:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    To setup for the print server, you can get the print server's IP address and queue name from a PC that's setup (go to printer properties > ports tab and click configure port to see the details).
    Read the print server docs carefully to figure out which protocol(s) is supported. The IPP and LPD protocols both require a device-specific queue name (also called port name), which should be in the manual. Common queue names are L1, lp, P1 etc. HP Jetdirect doesn't use queue name. HP Jetdirect equals raw port 9100 printing in PC-oriented manuals.

  • HP webservices tab not available when using HP Jetdirect 2700w wireless print server

    I recently bought HP Laserjet Enterprise 500 m551 dn color laser printer with HP jetdirect 2700w wireless print server ( one day old at this time).
    I was able to configure the device and enable/ use eprint services using the embedded server with a wired connection.
    However when I attach a the mentioned wireless print server, the "Webservices" tab disappears from the configuration website, the printer reports that the eprint services are not enabled and ofcourse hp eprint or google cloud print do not work. The printer appears offline at eprintcenter. Everything else works fine.
    On the product website for the wireless server, it clearly states that this is compatible with eprint services.

  • 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

    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?
