D-link Print Server
Berk Boyraz
I have a HP Deskjet 2050 which does not have inbuilt wifi capabilities.
I have connected it to a (eBay acquired, secondhand) Dlink DP-G310 wireless usb printer server, which connects to my router.
Having established a virtual printer port using the set fixed ip address, I am able to print using the Windows10 printer routines. Router and printer server, and printer server and DeskJet are communicating fine.
However, the HP Printer Scanner Doctor, and the HP Smart app for my Samsung A50 Android 10 telephone cannot find the printer, not even when I supply the print server's ip address directly.
What can I do to make the Printer Scanner Doctor (and my telephone) find my printer?
A Print Server simply allow to print to a shared printer (shared by the USB host of the print server), not any other connectivity which is required for utilities such HP Smart or the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
The problem is not the printer, it's the apps HP Printer Scanner Doctor, and HP Smart app that are malfunctioning. The Deskjet responds beautifully when addressed through Win10 and the printer servers ip-address. The "Printer Doctor" is lacking knowledge to do the same. If it was my doctor, I would find another; if it was my doctor and I was as American, I would sue his ass off.
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
So I created an OUTPUT DEVICE with DEVICE TYPE "LZEBS2" or "LZEB2" (I try both each time) and with "Destination Host" correct (the "Check connection" is ok) and with "Hoster printer" correct. The "Host Spool Access Method" is : "U : Print Using Berkeley Protocol".
So then when I try to print a document using this OUTPUT DEVICE, the document arrive in the list of the "Spool requests" with status "Proc." during 10-20 secondes and then the status becomes "Compl." (in green) but nothing is actually printed !
Concerning the print server (there is a web interface to configure and mainain), when I try to print there is a message indicating that the printer is printing and then the log actully records a new printing, but again, nothing is printed.
So apprently, the requests is treated by SAP, sent to the print server, the print server treats the request and consider that the printer prints it, but the printer prints nothing (although it correctly print when used in local).
I have an d-link dp-311p print server which provides the printer status(offline, paper out, etc) on it's interface.How can i get this oid status ?? i'm trying to find through axence nettools but there is A LOT of keys and the descriptions are not friendly...Also, i'm trying to use this code(c#) to access the print server status but no success...please, need a light, i'm completely lost!Tks everyone
Similar to Dan Rus's discussion on 29 May 2011, I recently purchased a Dlink DPR-1020 -print server because I want to print documents to my HP Photosmart C4345 printer and scanner from my Macbook Pro using its OS 10.7.2.
On the box it says it supports the Macintosh operating system and the HP printer. I tried installing it by entering the IP address and the queue name etc but it didn't work. It works perfectly with windows 7 (scanning and printing) . Then I read Greg Sahli's advice on 29 May 11 and followed his suggestion to install CUPS driver from Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
Which IP protocol did you select when you created the queue. If it was IPP, delete this queue and create it again, this time selecting "HP Jetdirect - Socket" (which is what Win7 will be using), or if you must specify a queue name, then LPD. Then enter the IP address of the Dlink, enter a queue name if you selected LPD, and select the appropriate driver as per Greg's suggestion.
Okay, with both IP protocols failing the first suggestion is to ensure you can ping the print server IP address from the Mac. Open Network Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select the Ping tab. Enter the IP address of the Dlink (192.168.1.104) and press the Ping button. Do you get a response to each packet sent?
Also, since Windows 7 is working open Devices & Printers, right click the C4345 icon and select "Printer properties". Select the Ports tab and then press Configure Ports. This will show what protocol Windows is using (RAW - which is HP Jetdirect on the Mac - or LPR) and if there is anything else specific about the queue. This information will help with the correct configuration of the queue on the Mac.
I can ping the print server successfully. When I entered the d-link address 192.168.1.104 in the Network Utilities dialog, every package returned a "64 bytes from 192.168.1.104 ... ttl=255 time=14.512ms" etc. In fact, in my second attempt above, it seemed that the MacBook did connect to the printer for a while until it paused and did not print out anything.
Recently I bought a new more powerful wireless N router, DLink DIR 628. So I removed all connections from the previous router (Netgear WGT624) and connected them as they should be to the DLInk router. Everything works fine except for the print server.
I have Hawking print server connected to HP Laserjet 6P parallel port printer. It works well with the Netgear router. But when I connect it to the DLInk router, it does not even show up in the LAN computers list. I am not sure what is going on.
There is a utility called PSAdmin that can talk to the Hawking print server if I switch to Netgear router. With that utility, I can get the assigned IP address to the print server. But when switching to DLink router, even the PSAdmin fails to find the print server.
However the print server's ip address will not show up on the D-link router.Even so it should still work with wireless and Ethernet providing all the port address are set the same on each computer eg 10.1.1.12
Today I've just bought a Canon i-SENSYS LBP6000B printer and installed it directly using USB port to my Windows 8 x64 based computer with Canon Advanced Printing Technology for Canon LBP6000/LBP6018 R1.50 Ver.1.10 I've download from Canon website.
Everything works fine and it's a great fast printer but since we have 4 computers in our house, and I don't regularly leave my computer on, I tried to use a D-Link DPR-1020 Print Server I bought earlier to connect this canon printer to my D-Link DIR-619L Wireless Router so other network users will be able to print even though I'm out and off.
But no matter how many ways I tried, I've still got no luck to make my printer work with the print server. It's also nice to mention that the D-Link Print Server was working fine with an Epson Stylus Photo R270 earlier.
2. I've read in multiple places and sources that all Canon Printers with CAPT drivers are unable to work with any of Print Servers in world since Canon Advanced Printing Technology only supports basic home uses and does not support or understand network (LPR) requests sent by Print Servers. Is that true?

LBP6000 worked fine on a linksys ac1750 (router with printserver). But doesn't on a USRobotics5461 (router with printserver) and NP330 (usb-printserver). Although tcp-portsettings are similar for all three. Printjobs dissapear in space...
Yesterday I installed the latest updates and after rebooting, the previously installed printers were not listed as available. As previously, I used my web browser and address 127.0.0.1:631 to set up the printers again, but and the printer properties are shown correctly when I attempt to print a document, but the spooled file is never removed from the queue, it does not print, and the printer shows no sign of being contacted. I rebooted the print server but this made no difference. I have rebooted the computer but this has not helped.
I had disabled IPv6 because I get no network communication when it is enabled, and I had removed references to IPv6 addresses from the /etc/hosts file. Following a comment I found on the web, I have reinstated those lines, but this has made no difference.
High Performance
The D-Link DIR-120 broadband router is designed to let a group of users share a broadband Internet connection through a DSL or cable modem. It integrates USB printer sharing with 4 LAN ports. The built-in USB and 10/100Mbps ports provide ready connection for the workgroup through the Ethernet network cables,while saving users the cost and trouble of installing a separate print server and Ethernet switch.
