Firmware v1.9.3.6 BETA

[Oleg]

The protocol is RAW and the port number is 9100. Bidirectional communication on or off does not make any difference.

RAW is not supported by original 1.8.1.9 firmware.

RAW is not supported by original 1.8.1.9 firmware.

Is this simply the reason why the ip3000 does not work with 1.8.1.9? Or can I use another setting?

Let's first say that I'm a newby, but I have read a lot of postings on the forum. Now my problem:

I recently purchased the WL-500g with firmware version 1.8.1.9. I'm trying to connect my Canon ip3000 printer to the wl500, but without success. I know there are some posting regarding this item but they did not help. The printer wizard doesn't indicate any problem and the port automatically switches to a 'standard tcp/ip port', but when I want to print something, nothing happens. The protocol is RAW and the port number is 9100. Bidirectional communication on or off does not make any difference.

The next step I want to do now is to upgrade the wl500g firmware. On the site of Asus a 1.9.3.6 beta version is available, with among others 'a range problem' solved. On this forum the latest version seems to be 1.9.2.7 CR4.
Can I use this version or does it still have this range problem? Or do I have to wait for a final 1.9.3.6 version from Asus?

(My Asus is installed on the second floor and the laptop is mostly used at the ground floor (couch!). The receiver quality now is 3 out of 5 on average, so I'm a little bit worried about this range problem.)

System info:
FW version: 1.8.1.9
mode: access point
security: WPA-PSK
PC: Windows XP SP2
printer: Canon PIXMA ip3000, with latest drivers

Any help appreciated!

Theo,

I had the same problem with my HP OfficeJet 5510.
After I changed the port protocol from RAW to LPR with queuename "LPRServer", it worked like a charm!

Hope this helpes!
