Getting Started

This FAQ was designed specifically for installing the DP-313 wireless print server using Windows 2000. However, the process is exactly the same for the other D-Link print server models DP-100, DP-101, DP-300, DP-301, and DP-303. This configuration also applies to Windows XP.

If you are using a Windows 2000 computer to do the initial configuration of the print server, you will you need to first install Client Services for Netware. This network service is installed through the Network Properties control panel.

To print to the print server, it needs to have an IP address in the same range as your computers. Be sure you check the IP address and port name in PS-Admin and make a note of it before you start your configuration. You will need this information to complete the setup.

More information on configuring the print server using PSAdmin can be found in this FAQ:

Still having problems printing?

If the above steps did not solve your printing problems, try this workaround.

Step A Reconfigure the printer to print using LPR. Right-click the instance of your printer and select Properties. From the printer properties, click the Ports tab.

Step B Select the printer port you just added and then click Configure Port

Step C Change the Protocol from RAW to LPR. The LPR Queue Name is the name of the print server port you are trying to print to. Check the box to Enable LPR Byte Counting. Click OK

Step D Print a test page. Click to the General tab and then click the button to Print a Test Page. Your test page should successfully print to the proper port.

If you had to use this workaround to successfully print and have additional Windows 2000 or XP clients to configure, you can select LPR from Step 6 listed above. Choose the Custom radio button and then click the Settings button to configure the LPR settings as in Step C above.
