User #55107 248 posts Tirith Forum Regular	Hi Could anyone help with their experience with the Dlink 524UP? i have two questions: 1) Does anyone know if the Canon Pixma 3000 will work with the usb print server in this router? I know the specs for the Dlink says that "host based" printers will not work - I dont know if the IP3000 is host based and cant seem to find out. 2) Will this router work well with a VOIP ATA if I decide to add it at a later stage? My immediate need is for a modem with wireless, 4 port ethernet and a print server and this one provides it all except that it is not a modem. Thanks!	anchor posted 2006-Sep-18, 12pm AEST

As for the printer, i think it's GDI. But really, if you already have the router... I suggest just trying to set it up and seeing if its works. Step 1 Go to Start > Settings > Printers > Add New Printer (WinXP - Start > Printers and Faxes > Add a Printer). Step 2 Select Local Printer. Step 3 Create a New Port and select Standard TCP/IP port. Step 4 The printer name/IP address is the IP of the router (192.168.0.1). Leave the port name with the default name. Step 5 You will get a message saying that additional port information required. Step 6 Select Custom (WinXP - Select Custom > Settings). Step 7 Set Protocol to LPR. Step 8 For the LPR Settings, queue name is lp1 (or lp). It is case sensitive! (LP lower-case). Use "lp" for LPT port or lpUSB0 for USB port. DI-524UP uses lp1 and DI-624S uses lp1 and lp2. If you are using a different print server (e.g. DP-303) you need to enter the name of the port in your print server here. Log into your print server and check the name of the port, it may look like "ps-050b8f-p1" Check the box to Enable LPR Byte Counting. Step 9 Select OK > Finish. Step 10 Continue with the Add Printer Wizard accepting the default values to finish loading the printer drivers.	anchor posted 2006-Sep-23, 8pm AEST
