[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 928932, member: 24098"] Basically your AP has a print server built-in, but this is really just semantics. In essence, any device that interfaces a local connection to a network connection acts as a print server. I say "banana", you say "banahna", not big deal. By default a "Standard TCP/IP port" in Windows uses LPR (if you go into properties on the port, you can see this). First, connect the printer via USB and make sure it works. If not, the driver may need to be installed first before you attempt a network connection. Once you've done this, try connecting with the LPD and use the IP address of the print server. First try without a queue name. If it doesn't work, try using "lp" (lower case L) as the queue name. Once you make a network connection, that's only half the battle. You'll need to choose a driver. If the driver doesn't show, we might need to use a generic driver. What make/model of printer is it? [/QUOTE]
