Win98 Print Server Problem - Need Help!

[stranger707]

I have a network working satisfactorily using a Linksys BEFW11S4 Cable/DSL Router. I have added a Linksys EFSP42 2-port printserver to allow 3 computers on the network to share 2 printers. I have added the first printer to the printserver, and a Win NT 4.0 and a Windows 2000 computer work fine with the networked printer. However, a Win98SE computer refuses to connect to the printer. TCP/IP and IPX are installed along with the Linksys print server driver. When I print a document the print spooler comes up as it normally would, but the print job goes into the ether somewhere. Does anyone know of a good troubleshooting guide for Win98 printserver problems?

Do you know what protocol your print server is listening for? How are your NT boxes configured for talking to the print server?

Does your printServer have a method of dumping it's settings (My HP can dump a page that tells me all it's supported protocols, what IP it is, what protocols it's listening for, memory, etc).

Sorry, I just figured it out. The Win98 machine was set up for the wrong port on the Linksys printserver. I had it on Port 1 instead of Port 2. Bonehead move.

Now I have to figure out how to add a printer on Port 1.
