Printer Issue

[Stephen S. Disbrow]

Hi,
    I think the print server  is  a net gear  mini print server model 
PSA1EF92. The instructions at the link you provided were much like ones I 
have tried before, and don't work for me. I put the ip address of 
192.168.1.50 which I have set in the config for the print server as static. 
I enter l1, and even tried q1 from another post. I hit probe, and it hangs 
with no responses. I finally kill the popup and have to force it to close. 
The printer is an HP7300 series if that might matter. When I go to the 
interface at http://192.168.1.50 the config screen works fine, and if I 
print from windows it also works fine. I'm at a loss here as to what to try. 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm not sure of the values for the second example you supplied.
