Hello,

D-Link's router print server port is 515; 631 should be for printers
connected to a computer. If the printer is a standalone network unit, it
depends on the brand (Kyocera is printerIP:9100); so check your
printserver docs.

Activating CUPS (if installed) and configuring a new distant printer on lpr
port at routerIP:515 should help. Or at printerIP:printerport...

But a wireless printserver on a network??? I really don't know if that will
or should work... unless your wireless print server is connected to your
home network via an access point... Or do you disconnect from the LAN to
connect to the wifi printserver when you want to print and then, disconnect
wifi to return to LAN? Pretty messy your thing.

I think you should return to network basics which you can find when
googling a little bit.

More infos could have been useful too!
