Which printing protocols does the router support? LPD? TCP? Socket?
Printerdrake does not auto-detect print boxes using only the LPD
protocol. For them you must switch to the expert mode and configure
manually. Most TCP/Socket print boxes will be auto-detected. The ports
which are scanned for that are
4010, 4020, 4030, 5503, 9100-9104
If your print box uses another port, set up your printer manually in the
expert mode. If your box supports TCP/Socket but you do not know the
port, do
namp 192.168.123.254
and see which ports are open. Ports with numbers bigger than 1023 are
most probably TCP/Socket ports.
