Short question: What are the settings in Print & Fax for adding a USB printer on a print server?
Longer explanation: Apple Help and google have been only somewhat helpful. So far, 10.5.6 + USB EpsonR220 (network compatible according to Epson's site) and NAS DNS-323 printer server with IP 192.168.0.125. The DLink web interface for the NAS/print server sees the Epson printer no matter which settings are in 10.5.6 Print & Fax. Test prints on the Epson work. System Preferences/Print & Fax/Add Printer I've tried various options under IP and More Printers, none of which work and most giving me a green light in the Print & Fax window. I've chosen the Epson Stylus Photo R220 Gutenprint v5.1.3 driver when the generic was working. But... The queue always Stopped itself and the Printer Paused itself. One message showed accessing IP address port 631 so I opened that in the router. Still no print. Mention was made on one site that updating the firmware of the NAS (which I have done) will erase the hidden print queue folder .lpd . One solution offered by someone using Tiger was to create a top level directory on Volume_1, and call it .lpd but trying to do that gets me a Reprimand for trying. I tried creating lpd and renaming, same slap on the wrist. So what are the settings for adding a USB printer on a print server?
