running print server for 1st time - only get a fraction of..

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I'm trying to use a D-Link DP-301U print server connected to my home
tcp/ip LAN to make sharing my HP inkjet more efficient.

Printing a test page directly from the D-Link configuration page in my
browser works fine (looks like it's from DOS).

However unfortunately, despite the whole installation going smoothly and
everything seeming fine, when I try to print from one of the PCs all I
actually get printed on the page is around 3mm height of text/image.

Where should I start looking to find a solution?

Only conclusion I've been able to come to is that the D-Link doesn't
like my printer.

Does it work plugging the printer straight into the computer?

Yes, that's what I've reverted to - less convenient for us when we're
not using the PC the printer is directly connected to but at least it
works.

Is it possible you could return the Dlink unit?
I use several EDIMAX 1205-um print servers and they work flawlessly.

Thanks for that - I'll email the retailer - I'm quite disillusioned.
