I guess my reading comprehension goes down a few notches on the weekend.
I missed that you suggest the printer is USB. The model you provided is for an ‘N’, or network model, which was the basis for my network support.
Again, without more info help is impossible. Why you’re using a print server when the printer has network is beyond me, unless it is for wireless. If that is the case, you should resolve ‘wired’ connectivity/function before wireless troubleshooting. Presuming the model is correct, using a ‘crossover cable’ to connect the printer directly to your laptop/PC is one method. Be aware, however, that it is possible to install the printer USB WITHOUT the software application...only if you are adept at doing so.
One more thing: My experience with print servers is that you need to turn off DHCP at the printer when using a USB/print server combination on the network. Beyond that, without a whole lotta indirect & inefficient messaging, I suggest you dump the print server and connect directly to a wired network if possible. Wireless sucks (IMHO).
But from research on the Internet, it shows that this printer only works with the original CDROM to set up the network.
We tried setting up on network, but unless the computer has the USB also connected to that computer, it does not work (unless you use the original CDROM).
The printer is old enough to be out of service warranty.
It is just cheaper and easier to get a print server ($40-$60) than to try to go through Dell to get a CDROM or get support and put the printer back on service.
I can look up and post some of those looking for an alternative to using the CDROM. All of those posts ended up with no solution UNLESS YOU GET THE ORIGINAL CDROM.
