Linksys WPSM54G Print Server on Windows 7

Question

I'm running an Asus Eee PC with Windows 7 Starter Edition. I have a Linksys print server set up already for my Windows Vista laptop.

When I open the setup wizard on the Eee PC, as soon as I click on "set up computer" I get a prompt:

The OS not support

There don't seem to be any Windows 7 drivers on Linksys' website. Any ideas how I can get it working?

Solution

You probably don't need any special drivers. That printer server supports standard IPP. Unplug power to your WPSM54G and connect the print server to your wired network. Power the WPSM54G back up.

Try opening a web browser and going to http://192.168.X.Y/ (substitute the IP address of your WPSM54G). You can configure the security using the embedded web site.

You should be able to define a netowrk printer using a URL like ipp://192.168.X.Y:631/ipp/P1
