I have a Netgear wireless router, 2 Gateway laptops and a Brother MFC-210C MultiFunction Printer/Copier/scanner/fax.\n\nIf I connectthe printserver to the Netgear, and then use s USB port on the Linksys to plug in the Brother MFC-210C, shouldn't I be able to get that to work?

As you said, if you connect the Linksys printserver to the Netgear wireless router and connect the printer to the Linksys printserver it should work.

If your wireless router does not have an open and free etherenet port (the big phone connector) you will either need to buy an ethernet hub, connect the wireless router to the hub, the connect the PC and the PrintServer to the ehternet hub as well.\n\nOr\n\nBuy a wireless PrintServer.\n\nYou need to connect it to the router.  Is the PrintServer new, just out of the box, or used?  If its used, download and read the user guide.  Reset it to the factory defaults.  The follow the user guide to set it up.\n\nDownload the manual, see link below.

We just installed a wired, network printer (same concept as a wireless printer-multiple computers 1 printer) and the manual stated that we had to run the setup software on each computer.  Of course if it is not hooked up to a network you will need a wireless adapter on/in your laptop.  What brand/model of printer and laptop?  That will help.\n\nI would suggest looking thru the setup part of the manual, odds are it is in there.  It was a 2 line paragraph in our manual, had to read it carefully (not skim) before I found it.

The best way for these so you dont have no problems at all is to purchase a Router. A router will go ahead and be the DHCP server which automaticly send out ip adress to any peripheral connected to it. You mentioned that you have 3 printers, are these printers attached to all 3 workstation you have at your LAN. If they are than you have to shared them out, set the permission so everyone can see one another. Make sure that they are all in the same workgroup which could be your LAN office name or something unique.

YOU NEED A WIFI PRINTSERVER\n\nWireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0\n \n  Share up to two printers with everyone on your network -- works with most parallel and USB (1.1 or 2.0) printers \nConnects your printers directly to the network by 10/100 wired Ethernet or 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g) \nNo need to dedicate a PC to print server chores \nRemotely administered through your web browser, SNMP, or the included utility

Yes, umm you will have to setup a network between the computers then allow printer sharing on the network I will post more information if you need me to just ask me for more information in detail how to if your going to do it now and how to do by step process.

Not sure about your particular printer or even if it is possible over lan. however - To find the IP of the printer simply go to the ip of your config of your router and you will be able to find the ip address. Concerening using ftp to connect. Erm is this really what it is. I spose it could be but its a bit odd. read the manual on the limitations of conecting over lan.

you cant unless you have the following:\n\nfor printer you need a network interface, if the printer comes with a network option then get it, otherwise get a jetdirect box (jetdirect is a trademark of HP, there are others available)\n\nfor modem you need a modem router, wireless is available. this will act as a modem and network hub which you will also need for the printer.\n\nto set all this up this is what you do\n\n1) remove current modem and replace with router\n2) connect to router on desktop and setup up ISP account (username and password to get you connected to the internet)\n3) connect laptop to router (either wireless or wired) and join same workgroup as desktop\n4) connect printer to router (either JD box or network card) and assign an IP to it\n5) add the printer to both machines using the IP address allocated\n\nthere is no other way of sharing a printer even using the "Share printer" because without networking it, the desktop MUST be on for it to work, thats what its plugged into after all\n\nthats about it really

yes ... set up a workgroup .. then you will be able to print wirelessly ... and another thing ... its a LAPTOP ... but ... make sure your printer is network capable ... have fun ...

sorry, but you did it the wrong way. to share a printer you need a router with a 4 port switch and an integrated print server. this has the advantage of simultaneous use of the same internet connection from both PCs. furthermore it's not necessary to have both computers running for printing.\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/resource.asp?pid=272&rid=821&sec=0\nthis router is also available in a wireless version\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/resource.asp?pid=460&rid=1766&sec=0\nCaution: check if the print server is compatible with your printer! you will find a list of compatible printers on the given links.\n\nhow to install:\nconnect the modem with the WAN port of the router\nconnect the PCs to any port of the 4 port switch of the router (RJ45-RJ45 cable, regular)\nconnect the printer to the USB port of the router\n\nshared printer setup\ngo to control panel and delete the current printer settings\nsetup a new printer and configure it for "shared printing". do that on both PCs.\nfor printing only you don't have to enable file sharing, though it's necessary if you want to copy files from one PC to the other.

You can probably get an adapter. If you go on the web site of the printer brand, they might sell it... or go to a computer store like Frys, and they will most likely have a USB to Parallel port adapter.

Sometimes a printer does not go well through USB hubs and extensions.  You might try to plug it directly into the 2nd computer to configure that until it works, then plug it back into the HUB and see if you can alter the PORT address of the printer.   \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

First off, purchase a USB hub to expand the number of available ports.\n\nSecond, depending upon the number of parallel printers, purchase some USB to parallel adapters, one for each parallel printer after the first, which is connected to the printer port.  Remaining printers that use USB connections can be connected directly to the USB hub.\n\nShare each printer, and voila! 5 shared printers.\n\nAnother (more expensive) option is to purchase print server devices (Netgear, HP JetDirect, etc.) and connect the printers to them.  This will save the overhead of managing the print queues on the server if the server is being used for anything else.

First, how are you able to select the second printer? is it through an external a/b switch? if so, sorry cant do it.\n\nSecond, on the computer with both prints, open the control panel and then open the printers folder, on the printer that is not accessible on the other computer, right click and goto sharing and security, from their ensure the second printer is set to be shared. if it isnt, share it and then go to your remote computer and try to install it again. \n\nThird, put the second printer on the second computer.

You do not need a network server for this printer, basically from what I can find you for you you just make sure it has power plug the network cable into the router and into the printer,  then you will have to get the IP address from the printer as the printer uses DHCP to obtain an IP automatically, to get the ip of the printer simple press and release the continue button (>) and it should print a status page or something like. Check out the source I have provided below its pretty easy to follow and read.\n\nAnd I do believe you will need to run the software on each computer for them to be able to print without having to refer to another computer.

Have you tried the user's guide? Pg.154\n\n"The printer software has detected that a network port is installed and cannot establish communications with it.\nPress Go to clear the message. The printer disables all communications to the associated network interface. No data can be transmitted through this interface.\nYou can program new firmware in the network interface through the parallel port after this message has been cleared"

its quit easy you can get the Print server UTP switch which one conected to you Lan Direct from there you can use any printer from any PC on your network but you have to instal the printers on all you pc so you can send the print from your own pc Print server is awalable in 4usb 2 com port
