Print Sharing w/Mac OS 10.2 Server, Epson C62 and DWL-900ap?
I recently got myself a D-Link DWL-900ap (specs at: http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl900ap/SpecsTable.htm ) wireless access point (it was a steal at $50 and has good range) to be connected to my Blue and White G3 running Mac OS 10.2 Server which is connected to an Epson Stylus C62 which I have been sharing via the Rendezvous sharing (as turned on in the sharing system preference).
I use my iBook running Mac OS X 10.2 with this wireless network. After setting up the DWL-900, everything worked great (it's so nice to be able to go anywhere on our property and have my network!), except print sharing. I can ping across the network, iChat in Rendezvous mode works fine, afp, samba, NAT, etc. The DWL-900ap does not pass AppleTalk packets, but I didn't think this would be an issue as OS X doesn't use AppleTalk except for legacy compatibility.
When I try to use print sharing, the following happens: I can see the printer in Print Center but it just sits there a while and eventually tells me "Unable to connect to IPP host: Undefined Error: 0". This is so odd because I have never had issues with print sharing and everything else works.
I've tried sharing the C62 printer from both the printer sharing function in System Preferences -> Sharing and Server Setting -> File & Print -> Print and both have the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions or steps I should take to troubleshoot it? You might want to check out the DWL-900ap specs (link above) as it does only pass certain types of packets from the wired network to the wireless network.
