USB Ports timing out after idle time
« on: April 21, 2009, 08:21:40 AM »
Hello all,

I have the DPR-1260 print server on my network, wirelessly connecting to a Linksys WRT54G router.

I have two USB printers connected to the D-Link... one is an HP Deskjet 2800DT and the other is an Epson RX680 multifunction printer.

Both devices work fine, including the scanner, however, I am noticing that after about 15 or so minutes, the printers seem to timeout and the Print Server shows them as offline...

If I cycle the power on the printer, it wakes up again and I can print with no trouble, but if it's past the 15 minutes, I have to cycle the printers power to get the documents to print.

I have also tried cycling the DPR1260 however this seems to have no effect... actually power cycling the printers brings them back and whatever is in the print queue is printing correctly.

Is there a setting some place or is this a firmware bug that is losing the USB connection on the DPR1260 itself?

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, I also have an HP Media Vault 1TB NAS connected to the ethernet port on the DPR1260, and there are no problems there, other than the speed, but it works properly.

The same thing is happening to me. I have a Brother MFC-8660DN connected to it.

The DPR 1260 relies on SNMP support in your printer to get printer status for the Windows print queue.  If your printer doesn't support certain SNMP objects then you can get the behavior you described. Try disabling SNMP in your printer port configuration.

Go to the Printers & Faxes applet, right click on your printer (i.e. print queue) and select properties.  Then go to Ports tab and select Configure Port.  Uncheck the box that says "SNMP Status Enabled" and click the OK button.

No guarantees but worth a try.
