Reference Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch

I am using a DHCP server, and the Wireless USB Print Server gets an IP Address conflict

If the wireless USB print server is left on when the DHCP server is turned off, the wireless USB print server will retain its IP Address without informing the DHCP server. If possible, reserve the IP address in the DHCP server for the wireless USB print server.

Restoring the Default Configuration

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings to the WGPS606.

Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless USB print server. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known. See “Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults Button” on page 2-6for a description of this button.

Windows Printer Port Management

•If you change the printer attached to the WGPS606, run the Smart Wizard program again and set up the new printer.

•Print jobs can be managed from Windows. Open the Printers folder (Start -> Settings -> Printers) and double-click any printer to see the current print jobs.

•For a Windows XP or 2000 computer, use Start -> Printers to open the Printers folder, then right-click the Printer and select Properties. Use the Advanced and Device Settings tab pages to configure printing preferences for this computer.

•For a Windows 98/Me computer, use Start -> Settings -> Printers to open the Printers folder, then right-click the Printer and select Properties. The Port Settings button is on either the Details or Port tab, depending on your version of Windows. Increase the retry interval if print jobs fail to print because they have to wait a long time to gain access to a printer that is heavily used.
