on each computer from which you will be printing, you'll need to create a standard tcp/ip port and configure it correctly for lpr before installing your printer drivers.
from A Customer from Hampton, New Hampshire, clickfrom.buy.com
didn't seem to support raw, rather i had to use lpr protocols.
from falz, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i was very happy to see that this product simply acts as an lpr printer port connected over tcp, all using completely standard protocols.
from www.amazon.com
netgear's instructions only include windows, but documentation shows win 2000 and xp connects via lpr, so it should work for linux and mac, no?
from www.amazon.com
3- when setting up a new printer in printer set up utility, you select ip printing + lpd/lpr, printer address is your new ip address that you assigned (192.168.0.4 in my case) and queue name is l1

after doing some internet research, i was able to piece together how to set up the printing to an lpd/lpr printer.

after a little research on the web, i was able to get my wife’s ibook printing using lpr printing for mac’s.cons: in the documentation it would have been helpful if dlink showed how to setup a local
from www.amazon.com
the d-link provides both raw-socket print capabilities and lpr/lpd queues.
from www.amazon.com
the reason is that you must create a new 'print queue' on your pc with a port monitor that points to the print server via port 9100 or lpr.

lpr and dpr are on by default for those tiger and suse or ubuntu uers out there.

after setting the port to use lpr, the printer worked great.
from www.newegg.com
however, they are easily set up through lpr.other thoughts: i installed "other network file and print services" in the windows component manager to get lpr.
from www.amazon.com
click next and then you can go back and follow the instructions about clicking on custom and then changing it to a lpr and putting in the port name in the queue and so forth and it should then work.
from www.amazon.com
although i did connect to the printer using a local port on win2k rather than the lpr on xp.
from www.newegg.com
i followed the directions in the manual (not the quick install guide) for windows 98, installed an lpr from the cd provided and have not had any problems printing.

from David from Sherwood, AR, clickfrom.buy.com
then, i had to lookup the help topics on linksys' web site for installing a printer using windows xp lpr.
from www.tigerdirect.com
you have to create a tcp/ip port and select ''lpr port'' with a queue name of ''p1''.
from www.amazon.com
another consideration is (not only with this linksys print servers) try to use lpr printing as it is less "complex" and your printer will always be available.
from www.amazon.com
in that new window, specify the ip address of the print server, then select lpr in next window.

in that new window, specify the ip address of the print server, then select lpr in next window.

it will work regardless if the port protocol is set to raw or lpr (lpd on mac).
from N/A, www.newegg.com
simply updated the printer properties to use tcp/ip lpr for the systems which used to shared the printer.

now linux was a little more diffcult, i'm using mandrake 9.3 and redhat 9.3 it took a couple of tries to get a good test page to print, it's just a matter of using the right combination of lpr/cups

i should note that this happens whether printing from windows 2000, os x or linux (lpr or cups).my hunch is that printer support is iffy, but one is hard pressed to find out from netgear which

if you are trying to integrate your mac os x system to print to the netgear ps101, there is a solution: configure your mac for ip printing, set the printer type to lpd/lpr, enter the print server ip
