Lexmark 5400 multifunction not prinitng with DNS323
« on: April 22, 2009, 06:22:37 AM »
Firmware 1.07
Installed and configured disks (2x1TB - Raid 1)
Moved USB printer connection from Vista (working with drivers installed) to DNS323
DNS sees the printer.  Can create a new printer under Vista.
Will not print Test page - Communication error reported by Lexmark driver
Router is a WRT54G.

Tried to uninstall driver and reinstall latest available from Lexmark.

Any idea if this model is supported under this configuration?

Multifunction printers can be challenging where print servers are concerned, especially when the print servers do not provide a "back channel" to allow bi-directional communications - which the DNS-323 does not do.

How I would deal with this is to take a known working installation of the printer with a direct USB connection and edit it to point to the shared printer - go to ports and create a new local port named \\<ip-address-of-DNS-323>\lp - also check the printer properties in the driver and disable bi-directional printer support and see what happens.

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.
