Re: D-Link DP-301U print server will not print from Outlook, OE, or Firefox

I wanted to follow up to my original post below and tell everyone that
after four days of battling with this situation, we finally determined
that the VPN (Virtual Private Network) program I was using to connect
to my work computer network was blocking printer communication.

Hi, folks. We've got a home network here with an XP machine and an
Apple Quad PowerPC. We hooked up a D-Link DP-301U print server a
couple weeks ago with our D-Link DL-624 wireless router and were
successful at getting it to print anything the Mac sends to the
Samnsung ML-1430 laserprinter. The XP machine is a different story:
documents sent from Word, Notepad, or IE6 print ok. We can print the
printer test page, too. We *CANNOT* print anything from Outlook 2003,
OE6, or Firefox.

WHAT is the solution to this problem? I disabled 3rd party browser
extensions in IE6, but I can't figure out how or if I should do the
same thing for the three problematic programs.

I'm getting pissed off enough that I want to take back this somewhat
useless print server. Any suggestions (including take back the
equipment)? Please post here. Thanks a bunch.
