In what way are you trying to set it up? If memory serves you have to set up either as AppSocket/HP Jetdirect or LPD (I think the former). Then your host ID and port.

I use the D-Link wireless and the device URI looks like...

socket://192.168.0.101:9100

I also have a d-link router. I notice that u use the ip address. Did u set aside that ip address for the wireless print server. I didnt set aside an address for the print server. I will see if that fixes it. Tnx
