Hi there,

After many hours I finally made the printer work with DNS-323 with this procedure:
1. Map "Quicken Pdf printer" to LPT1: {you will have to try other options here!}
2. Map  "lp" to LPT1: (make this the default printer)
3. map "Samsung ML-1430 Series" with location "\\192.168.1.105"
     to a "Standar TCP/IP Port" with IP address "192.168.1.105"  "raw protocol"

I hope this will help relieve the strain of setting up printers. Good luck.

I have two DNS 323.  Each act as a printer server.  HP960C for general use and a Canon Pixma 6000D for photos.

1.06 doesn't work!  If you have upgraded, put 1.05 back in, it works.

Roughly, to install the printer proceed as follows (XP):

Start menu
   Printers and Faxes
Add a printer
Select "a network printer, or a printer attached to another printer"
Select "browse for a printer"
double click DNS 323
Select lp
yes, ok, have disk
navigate to driver location (usually on CD)
Select xxxxx.inf  (the printer inf file)
Open
ok
Select the printer name
ok
wait while driver installs
Print a test page to be sure.

Install any other s/w needed from the CD, e.g. manuals.



Sometimes the first page is slow to start, if the file is large or the disks have gone to sleep.

Hope this helps

The upgrade to 1.06 broke printing for me too.
The symptoms are:
 - the printer is in "Paused" state. Selecting "Resume Printing" trigger "Access denied" alert box
 - none of the ports are selected on the "Ports" tab of the Properties. "Add Port" and "Configure Port" buttons are disabled.

2 hour later:
Ok made it work.  After setting up telnet and running:

/usr/local/LPRng/sbin up
/usr/local/LPRng/sbin start

I can print again,  even after restarting the DNS-323

I've got a multifunction printer, is it possible to hook it up so that I can print and scan without doing anything *too* complicated

That would depend on what you consider *too* complicated.

Out of the box the DNS-323 will not support scanning from a multi-function device, making it happen will involve quite a bit of work and is not supported by D-Link - printing, on the other hand, should not be too difficult - however I will point out, that not all multi-function devices work well with printservers, so when I say should, I mean should, you literally have no guarantees.
