Wireless print server w/ Epson Printer

[John]

I have a Linksys Wireless G USB print server. I have it
wired into my Lynksys Wireless G Router. I have an Epson
Stylus Photo 925 printer connected to the Linksys Wireless
G USB print server via USB. I have installed the Print
Server drivers and the print server shows up on the
routers list of DHCP clients. I have the Epson printer
drivers installed on my "main" computer which is wired
into my wireless G router.

Here's the fun part....When I try to configure the print
server to work with my printer it tells me to go into the
Epson Spool manager and disable it. Unfortunately, the
Epson printer I'm running does not have a spool manager.
I've talked to the Epson folks and they confirmed that the
XP drivers for this printer do not include a "spool
manager". I've also tried disabling the XP spool service.
No fix.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Does the print server support LPD? If so create a Standard TCP/IP Port to
the IP or name providing LPD service. Manually configure the port for LPR
mode and enter the QUEUE name from the network manual. Try enabling byte
count if the first attempt returns an error.
