Just a quick note for fools trying to install a WPS54GU2 to let them know that the Canon i450 printer is not compatible with this print server, but Epsons’s Stylus C64 is. It’s really a shame that nobody at Linksys seems to be able to provide users with a list of (in)compatible devices.

Some other quick advice to install this cool device (once installed…):

  • Always switch on the server last.
  • Keep the server wired until you make sure you can print from every PC of your network.
  • Before installing the print server utilities, install your printer’s driver.
  • When the server’s ports are configured for your printer(s), go check in Windows’ printer folder that the corresponding printer is connected to the appropriate port.
  • When testing impressions, make sure the ‘Print’ panel displays the correct printer’s location (something like ‘LK9861D4_P2′).

I wish you good luck!
