Netgear print server oddity

Monday, August 1. 2005

I have a client using several different Netgear print servers on his LAN. The models range in size from having 1 to 3 ports. We recently had a dot matrix printer die, and replaced it with an Okidata ML-590. The Okidata printer worked fine on a different computer, but when connecting it in the new location to the print server, it would literally print every other character (in text only mode).

After much head-pounding, I found a setting nestled in the Netgear Print Server Administration for the physical ports, changing "Ack+Busy" to just "Busy". That was it. Now it even works in ML-590 mode with full graphics support.

Life is good.
