676032 2008-06-06 02:23:00 I have bought a secoond hand print server so that I can access the printer - a HP LaserJet - from all my PC's connected to my small network of 5 PC's.
It is a "PrintSir Plus 10/100.
How do I set this up ?

676033 2008-06-06 02:26:00 Didnt it come with a manual?

I take it this printer has a parallel port since this server has one??

It looks like it plugs into the printer and it runs by power. Then you connect it to a lan, or maybe a hub

676034 2008-06-06 02:46:00 Yes - it has power, plugs in to the printer - parrell ? - and has a network plug. I have one end of a lead in the printserver and one end to the hub.
I can not see the print server.
Should the status lights be lit up when I have te power on ?

676035 2008-06-06 02:49:00 I dont know whats meant to come on.. I dont use a print server

Did you see it working before you brought it??

I'm just going by this pic (www.trademe.co.nz)

If you have a cam/camera take a pic of the connections, and upload it to ImageF1

676037 2008-06-06 03:05:00 After doing a google search I think its made by Edimax. Go to This site here (www.edimax.com) Scroll down till you locate the Print server manuals, and have had a look and it does mention PrintSir in the instructions. wainuitech (129)
676038 2008-06-06 03:35:00 Plug printer into print server, plug print server into your network, and then connect to the print server's web setup page to configure it.

You will need to know its IP address - by default this is probably 10.0.0.1 so you may need to temporarily reconfigure your computer's IP address accordingly
