Wireless print server help

[jharris]

I need some help with a failed wireless print server installation.

Background info:
1. Two PCs; one wired to a 4-port D-Link 614+ router/WAP and one with a D-Link wireless card. The computers are not on the same workgroup and do not share files. The wireless signal is encrypted.
2. IOGEAR, 1-port, USB wireless print server (GPSU01). Both PCs are running XP home.
3. Lexmark X83 multifunction printer (bi directional communications). Formerly connected to the wired PC.

I hooked the print server up to the hub, but both PCs lost communication with the printer … even the wired one. I'm just looking for some guidance. I'm not even sure this type of printer (multi-function) will work in this arrangement.

Thanks in advance.

The X83 may not be print server compatible. However, have you installed the print server drivers on each computer and redirected the X83 to the print server port?

Yes, I installed the print server driver on both machines.

I'm guessing that a multi-function printer, at least this one, may not work with a print server.

Thanks for keeping me from having a goose egg!

The printer section *should* work, but the scanner and fax from PC will definitely not work. You need a higher end multifunction to get networking capabilities.
