Re: Vista Printing and Print Server on Router
This probably won't solve your problem, but it will at least let you know
what's probably going on here.
Typically these print server boxes are running some flavor of unix, of which
there are zillions. I can find no documentation on USR's website talking
about what they are running on these boxes. If that flavor of *nix supports
Samba, Vista printing should work with them (this is why Vista will work
with a printer shared from a Mac). However, if they do something else, you
may experience problems.
This is a long shot, but you might be able to try connecting to the printer
with a MASQ connection. In the Add Printer wizard, type in the connection
name of "http://[router ip address]/printers/My_Printer/.printer". If that
doesn't work, you'll have to wait for USR to do something to support the
device on Vista.
Thanks,
Dan
