I have the print server listed above set up to print using IP. For Windows I have to allow the special port installation from the CD, so I did and that works for my Windows clients.
Reason I used this method was to eliminate the problem I had when trying to use the printer as a shared printer on Windows box with Unix. That method would not communicate no matter what I did.
I'm running KDE on slackware 10. The support pages for the print server/router say to add a TCP/IP port using the IP address and specify lp as the port. Got that from here: http://support.dlink.com/SupportFAQ/default.asp?model=DI%2D704P%5FrevB
Using the backend selection of "Network printer (TCP), I specified the IP address, and specified the port as lp, and when I click next, I get "Wrong Port number"
Dlink of course does not support this past tellig you what to specify and refers me to Linux support. Apparently there aren't that many people out there trying to do what I'm doing.
So, any help what what I'm doing wrong would be great.
