Click the Apple icon. Click System Preferences Printers & Scanners. At the bottom of the list of printers, click +. On the Add screen, click IP. In the Address field, enter the IP address of the print server. In the Protocol drop-down list, click Line Printer Daemon – LPD or LPR. XPrintServer fills the gap between the productivity of iPads and iPhones and the inability to print from those devices to office networked printers. Unfortunately it only works for networked printers. Using a machine as a potential AirPrint server is at this point still the easiest way to enable this. Mac OS X Printing via the Windows Print Server. Introduction With the number of Macs growing, especially in the academic and consumer fields the need to support them has become a must have for many existing Windows environments. The DP-101 manages the flow of print files from network workstations or servers to its connected printer, freeing file servers and workstations from printing tasks. Its IEEE 802.3 Ethernet port and IEEE 1284 parallel interface allow it to connect most parallel printers directly to an Ethernet-based LAN. Decent print server. Standard protocols work well and are fairly easy to install and implement. Decent, inexpensive multi-protocol print server. The only downside that I have seen is the lack of documentation on Windows 98, ME, and 2000. These OS's are easy to implement, except I had difficulty making the TCP/IP work. Would I buy another one?

I am having hard time to print to a print server.
I have Mac OS X, and a printer HP Deskjet D2360.
I have tried with two different print servers: ViewSonic WPS-100 and Iogear GPSU21. Each time, I have configured the Mac with LPD protocol, the print server IP address, the print queue name as indicated by the server manufacturer (l1), and the HP Deskjet D2300 driver for MAC downloaded from HP web site.
When I try to print, the printer stays still. The print server tells me that a print job was received and that 0 byte was printed.
I have made tests using other printing protocols (IPP and HP Deskjet socket), using generic printer drivers. I have also tried other printer queue names (LP1, lp1, L1) but unsuccessfully.
Both print servers work fine from Windows.
Also, the printer works fine when connected directly to the Mac USB port.
Thanks for any idea on how to fix this.
