Is anyone else having problems connecting a Linksys WMSM54G print server to a HP PSC1510?

I have a desktop using Win XP SP2, a laptop running Win Vista, a Linksys WRT54G router, and a Linksys WMSM54G print server. My wireless router works fine for both computers. When I connected the Print server I was able to only get the laptop to connect to the print server. The desktop won’t allow the network driver for the printer to be installed from Linksys install disk. It just hangs and does nothing. I’ve removed all the HP drivers and extra software and reinstalled only the XP compatible driver and still nothing happens. If I connect the printer directly to the desktop it works fine. With it connected to the sever I can send a test print from the server to the printer with no problem. Any help is appreciated.

Make sure the Print Server and the router are the same version. Thats the most common problem I find. The information will be on a sticker underneath both the router and the print server.

Differing Versions, even though they are both g-networkable, cannot work with each other.

Also, most print servers cannot scan wirelessly…only print. Keep that in mind too!
