Posted August 20, 200816 yr I had some issues setting up my Trendnet TE100-P21 three port print server with my home network on vista PC's. This is how it is done: Control Panel Printers Add Printer Local Printer Create a new port Standard TCP/IP Port Under hostname/IP address of the printer, enter the IP address of the printer server (192.168.xx.xx) that you entered when you set the print server up on your network. This will be reflected in the line below (Port Name). Click next. After a few seconds you will see a dialog box for additional port information. Select custom and click settings Now you need to know the port name used by your server. Mine was PS-71936B-U1 (first usb port). If your using the second usb port it will be -U2 and if your using the parallel port it will be -P3. Change the protocol to LPR (instead of RAW) Enter the PS-XXXXXX port name in the Queue name box and click OK This will take you at last to the printer driver setup menu. This fixed the problem of the printer going offline when you reboot.
