Title: HELP! USB printing Canon MPC400
Post by: dirty harry on July 11, 2005, 13:21:16 PM

Getting my Canon MPC400 to print via the WL500g router has failed >:(even with the new OELEG 'firmware' update.
I tried to follow the RAW printing manual provided by OELEG but no succes.
I use a very simple virtual DMZ network wih only one modem one router and one PC.
Setting up ports in the router therefore is not needed right? :-[ Which steps should I take to get this printer to work ????

(printing via LAN works)

Thanks in advance

What excately do you mean that "Printing via LAN works" ?

Is printing via LAN not printing using the ASUS Router connected to the LAN ?

Also - which OS are you using? Windows?

Did you follow Olegs printing manual (http://oleg.wl500g.info/printing/) to the point ?

What I meant to say with that was that if I do not use the router the printer works; the printer does not seem to be the issue it is the connection.

I am using Windows XP Home
I did follow de tutorial but had the printer driver intalled before setting up the port as explained. I therfore did not install drivers afterwards. I am not sure if my printer supports the RAW format or it it needed to install the HP driver as shown in the tutorial..

does this help :-[
