OK. The only difference is that there is no usb port on the 300+,it has a
serial port which I am not using. The Hp laser is plugged into LPT1 on the
dlink and on the pc it is setup as a standard tcpip port , the port name is
P1 and the ip address is 192.168.0.4. ,protocol Raw, Raw port number 9100. I
then installed the canon on to a pc with the parallel lead in the pc and
printed a test page. I then swapped the lead into LPT2 on the Dlink and on
the PC in the canon port properties created a new standard tcpip port, port
name P2, Ip address 192.168.0.4, protocol Raw, Raw port number 9100 and
ticked this box. When I try to print a test page the HP laser prints corrupt
pages ( since the data is expecting a Canon). The Dlink can only have 1 IP
adress and the port names are the same as in the DLink so I can't see why
the DLink doesn't push it the the right printer.
