522867 2007-02-05 04:53:00 I have a wireless US Robotics router 9108 which has a built-in USB port print server. I have connected a HP LJ 1100 (of course coverted from parallel port to usb) to the print server port. I am having problem getting the router to detect the printer. Does anyone know why? I have read about Internet Printing Protocal and I don’t to have that in my OS, XP:confused: Home. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Taurus (9579)

So you're saying that the printer doesn't have USB built in so you have used an adapter to change LPT port to USB?
Don't know if this will work.

Have a look in the wireless print server web config pages. It show in there somewhere that a printer is connected and it should give you the model number.
If not then your PC won't be able to print to it.

522869 2007-02-05 20:31:00 Thanks CYaBro. I used an adaptor to convert to USB. Just tried on the local USB port on the notebook. It can't even detect the connection at all. So you are right. Thanks once again. Taurus (9579)
