Re: [Internet] Sagemcom F@st 2864 usb printer Thanks again for your help. I've tried various things. All my computers are on Windows 7 right now, and the networking seems to be different from what it used to be. Turned on network discovery and file sharing, changed it to a Home Network, created a homegroup, etc. When this is done I can see the Sagemcom Hub on the network, it lists media files, but there is no way to see the printer...
I've followed your instructions exactly, from deleting the old printer, rebooting, etc. to your latest instructions. It always gets stuck at step 5. When I browse for a network printer it runs for a long time, then says "No printers were found." I wonder if this printer just isn't supported. Considered trying out another operating system to see if it'd work, but it's too much bother right now.
I'll just have to plug in my old router when ever some one needs to print, and have them connect to that for now.
hope your guide helped someone though!  |

kudos:1 | said by liaden:In the past I had this connected to my tomato router and it worked by adding a standard tcp/ip printer port at the router's ip address, setting the protocol to RAW, the port number to 9100, and then adding the proper printer driver Here's what you need to do to use the tomato router as a print server
Change the tomato router's ip address to 192.168.2.250 and disable the tomato router's dhcp server
Connect one of the tomato router's lan ports to a sagecom lan port
You now need to set up a new tcp/ip printer port or change the existing printer port ip address |

Toronto, ON | thanks! I will try that! If that doesn't work I'll look through Rickstep's links this weekend and see if I can find a fix there. Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes. |
