Ensure that the computer used for configuration has the TCP/IP network protocol
installed. Test its network connection by seeing if you can locate other LAN devices
from the computer. (For example, Use Network Neighborhood and try to browse the
network.)
Note: you must power off the Wireless Print Server before connecting or disconnecting the LAN cable when
switching between wireless and wired interfaces.
I am using DHCP and there is an IP Address conflict involving the Wireless Print Server.
If the Wireless Print Server is left on, but the DHCP server is turned off, the Wireless Print
Server will retain its IP address without the DHCP Server being aware of it. Simply reset the
Wireless Print Server so it obtains a new IP address.
This problem also occurs if you assigned a static IP address that is within the range used
by the DHCP server. If so, use another address that is NOT within the range used by the
DHCP server.
I use a router and had to restart it. Now I can't print.
Re-power the Wireless Print Server until it re-associates with the router. If you still cannot
print, run the Installation Wizard again to configure the Print Server.
How do I change the Domain name?
If you need to select another Domain for the Wireless Print Server, re-run the Installation
Wizard.

Why do I get an incorrect printout?
Some possible reasons are:
You may have chosen Binary encoding to print the file. Try using ASCII encoding.
Some of the fonts in your print file may not be supported by the printer. Try selecting
LaserWriter 7 instead of LaserWriter 8.
Can't find the Wireless Print Server's name in the Chooser.
Try the following:
Make sure that AppleTalk is on (the button next to Active is highlighted in the Chooser).
Make sure the printer has been on and in the READY state for a few minutes.
Make sure the printer has not been renamed since its last appearance in the Chooser.
If the printer resides on a network with multiple zones, make sure the correct zone is
selected from the AppleTalk Zones box in the Chooser.
