Anybody experienced problems printing from Vista Ultimate through a print
server? I'm using a D-LINK DP-300U. I can connect to the printer server,
install ther printer, but when I send a print (test page) on the color
deskjet the page won't print and in the panel return an error.
If I send document to the hp 1100 ... all is fine. In both cases I use vista
default drivers.

What could be the matters?

Vista RC2 prints fine to:
1) Brother MFC8820DN (Print server built in).
2) a really,really old HP Jetdirect Ex3+ (3 ports available, using
2))
Both cases I had to input the IP address and then the port number.
(The scanner part of the Brother is on port 2)
Both work very reliably.

server :)

Got to love USB with no latch. My Cat sat on my external (warm spot
<G>) Hard drive and dislodged the cable in the middle of a long
download :/

Well ... I hope for you cat that he didn't start to learn how to fly from
the window :)
