SMC Barricade Part Number 750.5435
Authored by: John Strung on Nov 23, '03 11:01:37AM

I am not having much luck with this. I followed the instructions found here using both lp and lpt1 as the print cue and using the "Epson Stylus Color, CUPS+GIMP-Print v.4.25" driver. When I try to print, I get a message, showing "Printing 0,28%" etc., up to 100%, followed by "Connecting to 192.168.1.1 on port 631" followed by "network host 192.168.1.1 is busy". (192.168.1.1 is the IP address I use for the SMC 7004AWBR router to which the Epson 740 is attached by a parallel printer cable)

I am using a 7004AWBR, Firmware 142.005, and OS X Panther.

Any suggestions?

I was able to print via an SMC router/print server under Jaguar. When I upgraded to Panther, this feature broke.

I bought a new SMC router last week, the SMC2804WBRP-G, which is a wireless G router with built-in USB print server. The manual it comes with is terrible.

For printing on the Mac, the manual says this:

"Macintosh OS supports Plug-n-Play installation of the printer server servicice."

That's all the manual says. I am not sure what they mean by Plug-n-Play since the printer plugs into the back of the router. I tried to configure the print server like I did with my old router but I get the 192.168.2.1 is busy message.

I have not got the print server working on a Windows XP machine either.

I'll probably have to call SMC Tech support about this one...
