[Wylug-help] Edimax Print Server Configuration

[Dan Walker]

Andy,

I've got an Edimax print server, and a Samsung laser printer, so I might be 
able to help.

However, my printer is parallel, so the situations are not entirely analogous.

The error you're getting there suggests that whatever protocol CUPS on your 
desktop is speaking, the print server isn't; You might try using nmap to see 
what TCP ports the device has open.

I've had success with using HP JetDirect on some print servers in the past, it 
might be worth enabling that.

Dan

P.S.
