Gentlemen;I have Belkin wireless router with usb print server and it works well
I've used Axis 540's in the past and more recently Hawking Tech's versions.
but lately I have a Hawking that seems to be dying and I need to replace
it. I tried another Hawking and I can get to it with Windoze but NOT with
Linux/cups. It seems to configure properly under cups and shows all the
correct messages when attempting to print to it.... but nothing gets there.
If I print the same stuff with the Windoze drivers from XP, it goes well.
Also, I certainly can Ping the device.
So, my question is... if I am going to replace this and several others when
they fail, which particular print server make/model have people had good
luck with concurrently with both Linux and Windoze as a network only
printer?
both as an access point and as a print server for my linux and windows
boxes.
dLink 804 on the other hand did not work well. I also have prejudice
against netgear.
An older Asante router has a parallel printer port and works fine also,
but is (very) slow.
Even when printing b/w postscript. Go for a router with a usb print
server
if you have a modern printer. I think usb print servers cost more than
router+print server
combo.
