Netgear Print Server Ps101 Default Password

Has anyone got a Netgear PS101 print server to work under Linux? I've tried as many combinations as I can and am getting nowhere. I'm running Mandriva 2006 PowerPack and have all updates.

The Netgear PS-110 (discontinued) Wired Print Server has been my friend for around 10 years now. I’d originally purchased it to make my HP LaserJet 2100 printer available to my roommate (rather than sharing the printer through Windows sharing. Which required that my PC be on, and blah blah.) I’d purchased it in an era of Windows 98/ME/2000. Today, the thing still works like a champ with Windows 7, but I occasionally need a reminder of how to configure the thing. Thankfully, Netgear still operates it’s discontinued support FAQs and they have an knowledgebase article on. (Replicated here, in case they ever take it down which assumes my trusty little PS110 will keep plugging along.) • Click on Start, then Control Panel, then Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Printer and select Properties.

• On the printer properties window, select Ports tab and click on Add Port • Select Standard TCP/IP Port and click on New Port. • This will bring up the Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard, click Next • In the field for Printer Name or IP Address, type the IP address of the print server and click Next.

Note: You may check other computer’s printer port to verify the IP address of the print server. • Select Custom and click Settings button. • Under Protocol field, select LPR. For Queue Name, type L1 depending on what print server port is the printer connected to. Note: if you’re print server that has 2 or more printer ports, like WGPS606, type L and the number of the printer port used. Example printer is connected to port 2 then you must use L2.

• Click Ok, then Next, and Finish. Handheld software tools.

This versatile mini print server gives home and office networks built-in efficiency because it allows multiple users to share a printer from anywhere on the network without sharing your PC. With this kind of flexibility, you can place your printer anywhere that’s handy. The speedy Mini Print Server boasts a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection and supports multiple print jobs simultaneously.

It features an easy, Web-based remote management tool and works with most laser and inkjet printers equipped with a parallel port. Since no parallel printer cable is needed, it saves you money, too. On the second PS101 Print Server (the first was defective), It only took me 5 hours over four nights and 3 tech calls to get it to work. The tech support only made it worse.
