Title: DNS-323 usb print server not showing up in add a printer wizard. ARRRRGGG
Post by: swamphox on March 23, 2009, 05:28:48 PM

I am trying to use my DNS 323 as a print server and my xp pro machines, 5 in all, do not see the DNS 323 as a printer in my " add a printer wizard". When I go into the DNS I see the printer. I am sure this is a windows thing, it always is, but the damn windows add a printer thing will not expand to show the DNS 323 in the +WORKGROUP like the instructions show in the manual. Can I get a little help with this. Thanks

Start by installing the printer connected directly to the computer and then go to the properties for that printer and add a new port, call it \\<ip-address-of-DNS-323>\lp
