Ok I have a Linksys wireless router connected to my pc and wirelessly connected to a laptop I have a Jetdirect 175x print server connected as well. The printer shows up on the network so both computers recognized and installed it as a network printer. However when I try to print there is no response, in the hp toolbox it says that it cannot establish two way communication with the printer. I have no idea what is wrong if its the print server or some configuration problem help would be most appreciated
Solved: Network Printer not working

Please click the link below for your operating system to download the TSG SysInfo Utility. Click on "Save File" then double-click the file to run it. Copy and paste the report in your initial post. Windows 7 and later (downloads a file named tsginfo.exe) | Windows XP (downloads a file named SysInfo.exe)

The documentation for the printer or the print server claims that these two should work together?
I've no experience with a print server, so sorry if this is a dumb question: does the print server documentation say anything about needing to configure firewalls?

It is not uncommon for the printer software to want to get information back from the printer that doesn't pass through this type of print server. HP is one of the more common ones.

"the printer is a HP PSC1510 series and they are compatible i checked before i bought the server ..."
I have no doubt that you checked, but you better call or email HP since that information is at odds with the table about one page down at this HP link:

Why did you install it as a network printer? You shouldn't have.
1) Find out what the IP address is of the printer.
2) Install the printer to each of the computers as a LOCAL printer. Do not automatically detect the printer. Add a Standard TCP/IP port and install the printer to that port.

P.S. The PSC means printer, scanner, copier. If you use a jetdirect card , I don't think the scanner will work.

Doesn't matter. Install the printer as a local printer, but use Standard TCP/IP as the port. That way, you computer will control the printer (when it's in use), and the computer does not expect a print controller to handle the job.

P.S. I say this because I have two printers, a LaserJet 1200 (with a Netgear print server box), and a Color LaserJet 2600n. Both are connected to my Linksys WRT54GS, and I connect to them wirelessly.
