Troubleshooting 6-3
Draft 1, 01 Feb 05
Nothing is printing
• Try printing from another computer. If this is successful, then there is a problem with your
computer configuration, not the print server. Consult the computer and operating system
documentation.
• Turn off the print server, then turn it on. Test whether the print server works.
• If the printer does not match the printer driver in the operating system, then run the Set Up this
PC wizard. See “Now, Set Up a PC” on page 3-5.
• Disable the printer's bidirectional feature, if it is turned on.
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. Power down and restart
your network in this sequence: 1) router first, 2) wireless USB print server must be second, 3) last,
any other computers or devices on your network.
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 “Diagnostic/Reset
Push Button” on page 2-6 for a description of this button.
Checking the Current Status of the Printer
You can check the current status of the printer remotely from the CD Smart Wizard configuration
screen. The following conditions are displayed.
• Current status — on-line, off-line, out of paper
• Print State — either Idle or Printing, depending on the state of the printer
