Among the approved printers for it are my sister's HP Officejet 5610 -
the one I'll be connecting to - and HP Officejet 6110
I'd like to know whether anyone has been successful in connecting HP
Officejet 5610 to D-Link DPR-1260 wireless printerserver? By sucessful,
I mean, get both wireless printing and wireless scanning working..
Trying to purchase D-Link DPR 1260 online got me to
http://tinyurl.com/fdd2z , where I saw statements such as
"The scanner will not work using the software provided by the
manufacturer. It only works over the browser interface with limited
features." (This is from connecting to approved HP Officejet 6110)"
Btw, what does it mean by "it only works over the browser interface
with limited features."
Another customer's comment in connecting with approved Samsung ML-1740
Laser printer:
"My wireless router is a linksys WRT54GX2. The print server was
extremely easy to set up on my network. I am using WPA security and
have my SSID hidden. I did have to call tech support twice due to the
normal steps of connecting a printer to the print server did not work."
He continues .."Once you have the print server communicating with your
network, connect your printer directly to your pc to get the drivers
setup. Once this is done, move the printer to connect with the print
server. Then you can just modify the printer port settings to point to
the print server instead of going through the "normal" dlink method."
So
it seems that normal steps of connecting the printer on approved
list to this print server doesn't work *or* the scanner (in the
approved printer) will not work using the software provided by the
manufacturer. Why?
