Model :

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Forgive me if I'm being rather dim and presumptuous but I got the print server to allow my tablets and ipads to print. My network is based around a wireless/wired router which is normally administered by my desktop pc and I simply assumed that it would also be how the print server would be set up, ie. by the desktop pc. Imagine my horror when the pc can't see the server - as it doesn't have its own wireless adapter. I had thought that it would see it via the router.

I don't have any working laptops with wifi to be able to set up the print server so can anyone advise me how to get everything started with what I have? AND, when it is finally set up, will the desktop be able to access the printer without having to re-connect through the old usb cable?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers, Mark

The printer server has to be configured on a laptop... as it has no ehternet port...
Besides, ever there is a laptop and you can configure it successfully, maybe you cannot share print on tablets and ipads...
You bought a wrong product according to my understanding.

I had come to the same conclusion! I'm not sure if I can exchange the server but that's not a problem. What print server would you recommend so I can print from my desktop and tablet /ipad to a Canon pixma inkjet?

Cheers, Mark
