Wireless Print Server

Windows Vista Business
Hawking Wireless Print Server HWPS1UG

This might apply to other print servers, wireless or not.

-First, ditch the software that it comes with.

-Find an XP machine and connect to the Print Server's setup web page
(default on mine is 192.168.1.250).

-Go through the setup.

-Attempt and (in my experience fail) to install a network printer. If Vista
sees the printer, select it and get the message, "Windows cannot connect..."

-At this point, I owe Bullerd from the

thread.

-Install the printer as a Local Printer. Choose the port that corresponds
to your network path (//PrintServer/PS1 as mine is setup).

-Worked for me.
