Wizard Cannot find Print Server
If the Wizard cannot find your Print Server even though it appears
to be functioning properly, the problem may be that there is
another wireless network in the area and the Print Server has
associated with it. In this case, you can:
• Try repowering the Print Server. This might allow it to connect
to the correct wireless network.
—or—
• Connect the Print Server to the network (to the router) using an
Ethernet cable. Other possible reasons that the Wizard might
fail to find the Print Server are:
• security settings on the existing wireless network—such
as Encryption;
• the wireless network not broadcasting an SSID; or
• MAC address filtering settings on the network. Encryption and
SSID settings can be entered on the Print Server to overcome
the first two problems; however, if the network is blocking
new devices by MAC address, your router will need to be
configured to allow the Print Server to associate (see your
router’s documentation). Print job not going to correct printer,
or not printing at all
• It could be that the computer is set to print to the wrong
printer. Verify that the printer connected to the Print Server is
set as the “default printer”.
• When troubleshooting a printing problem, try to determine
whether any of the computers on the network can access
the Print Server. If some computers can print, and some
cannot, then the problem is most likely not the Print Server
or the printer, but the printer driver settings on the specific
computer. In this case, run the Print Server Setup Wizard again
to reconfigure the computer. If this still doesn’t correct the
problem, delete the printer driver from your computer. Reinstall
it using the manufacturer’s CD that came with your printer
(it should direct you to check the manufacturer’s website for
updated drivers); then run the Setup Wizard again. In some
cases, drivers from a printer manufacturer might support
