Vigor 2710N Printer Sharing ! was created by technojunkie
Has anybody tried using the USB port of the 2710N for printer sharing ?

I tried to set-up the 2710N as a print server this morning following the user manual instructions implicitly but I could not get it to work.

I've therefore gone back to using Windows Print Sharing on my PC.

:( Same problem with same router installed within past two weeks.

WinXP setup SEEMS OK with a new IP port.

I've still not found a solution to this problem and continue to use WinXP print sharing.

I asked Draytek support and the response email did not offer an instant solution, but did mention the LPR Queue.

Well I have never fiddled with this stuff and do not understand it. So, to Google, and one entry mentioned the LPR Queue Name of 'Local' when network printing.

I tried that. The test page printed OK, but listed the Data Format as RAW.

A Word doc prints OK.

A web page prints gobbledegook.

Its a start !

Thanks for the link mazura76.

Once again I followed the Draytek instructions implicitly but again had no success in making it work. All I got was the "printer not responding message" !

Very frustrating.
