Hey Barb, I recently bought a DPR1260 and it works fine with my XP machine.
I downloaded the later firmware (1.21) and my Vista machine could see it in
the browser (had to use IP address, but I have that mac always getting same
address) ... but printing fails. Got a good starting point to debug this? I
do not see anything in my network neighborhood (on XP or Vista) ... but on
XP, I can bring it up with url: http://dlink-fbfdf4/ and on Vista, I have
to use the IP address. Network in WindowsExplorer in Vista does show
DPR1260:dlink-fdfbf4, but for some reason, I cannot get there by any
permutation of that from the browser. I can get to the browser via IP (which
is how I set up the printers) ... but again, I am not printing. Any
discussion of places to start looking would be apprcieated. Tx.

did you give it a static IP?
were the printer drivers already on the Vista PC?

Ah, before reading this ... I was perplexed by inability to bring up the web
interface by anything but the IP. Anyway, being new to Vista ... I had some
fun with security but ... I updated the hosts file (ran my favorite editor
gvim as administrator) with the static ip that I assign to the print server
.... (and used the name that the printers got defined with along with a few
other nicnames I like to use) ... and voila ... it does indeed work well.
Jury is still out on Vista (I'll probably grow to like it more as I use it
more) ... but the print server is now functional from my XP and my Vista
machine. Thanks,

PS. But I wish the DPR-1260 would work with a larger array of devices and
see my cheap HP 3 in 1 and my cheap Brother 4 in 1 as multiFunction instead
of just printers ... but I digress.
