problem with NETGEAR PS121 USB print server

[Jack]

I just purchased a NETGEAR PS121 USB print server for the Canon ImageClass
D660 laser printer for my home network. The Print Server Setup Wizard seems
to installed ok except for the last step to print a test page. Nothing, no
print output although the test page is in queue. My Canon has been working
great as directly connected to my computer via USB for the last two years
until I purchased the NETGEAR print server. Anyone has suggestions as how to
make this two devices work together?

Anyone knows what print server works with the Canon ImageClass?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried setting it up as a shared printer without a printer server?
Not ideal I know.

The reviews of the D761 at Amazon make me wonder if the range is a bit
fussy...

Extracts below...

"Just purchased the Canon D761 printer/copier (feb 2004). This unit only
supports two print servers... and I never heard of them. So it is not
"generic" to most servers and should not be purchased if you need that
feature. Reasonable printer and copy quality."

"Canon D760 is a great printer as long as you connect it physically to a PC.
Of course, very few buy a $600 printer for home use? A printer of this class
is typically a network printer, shared by many, in a small office
environment. If you are planning to network this printer using a print
server, Canon D760 just falls short of expectations. Canon officially
supports only AXIS 1610 model print server (through parallel port). The Axis
print server retails for $200. Note that cheap and reliable alternatives
like D-Link and Netgear print servers will not work with this printer.
Though printer itself supports USB port. However, the USB port works only
when it is connected through a PC. So, you cannot use a USB port print
server with this product. With so many limitations (Many of which I did not
even know, when I bought it), I would not recommend this product."
