I have a DLINK DP100 Print Server, configured with an IP address.Within Network Neighbourhood of any NT 4 worksation Client [of our NT4 domain] I can see this server, called Pserver1, and as a result I can map to it using the net use command.
However, from a XP Pro client or Win2K client [with all servive packs] I get the " System Error 66". I have installed the NetBeui addition from the respective CD's but it seems to make no difference at all.
All other printers, eg HP are fine. I can ping this device but can't 'see' or map to it from a Xp or Win2K PC.
Anyone have any ideas.
Ps: I even registered the name to IP address on our WINS server. We do not use DNs.

How do I configure my D-Link print server for Windows 2000 and Windows XP?
http://support.dlink.com/f
Hey, dunno if you've gone out and bought a new Axis Print Server yet, but if not then I believe I can help. Today I have just been trying to install a HP LaserJet 1200 over a D-Link DP-100, and found that of great difficulty, but eventually possible.
First thing, you will need to know the IP address of the print server, and the Port Name. The Port Name is the internal name, so will not be LPT1 of LPT2 as printed on the box. If you do not know the Port Name you will need to use a piece of software which should have come with the Print Server called PS Admin. This software was written for Windows 95, but it has worked for me on Windows Server 2003 (and therefore Windows XP), although it does take a bit of time to bring up all of the graphics. If you have since lost the software, the latest version (1.03) can be downloaded from:

However, before you can get this to work, you MUST install the NetWare client. This is a pain, but believe me, I was sitting around with stuff not appearing for a day before I found this out. To install this in XP, find your Network Connection, and bring up the properties of your LAN connection, click Install and select 'Client Service for NetWare'. Once installed you will need to reboot. When your computer starts up, you will yet a message about selecting servers, but just click on Cancel, and it will never bother you again. Now run PS Admin, and it will discover your Print Server/s connected to your network. From here you can adjust any of the settings, as long as you have the password for the Print Server. If you have lost the password, you can login with the factory password. This will always be SYS followed by the last 4 letters/numbers of the MAC address. This should be printed on the underside of the Print Server, or alternativley, ping it, then type in 'arp -a' into the command line. From PS Admin, select your Print Server, then click on Device Settings. It will bring up a window, and you then want to click on the icon for either LPT1 or LPT2, depending on which port your printer is connected to. Here you will need to note down the exact Port Name. To ensure the printer is properly connected, you can click Print Test on the main PS Admin screen, and you should get a printout.
In windows, go into Printers and Faxes, and click on Add Printer. Ensure that you select Local Printer, and uncheck Detect Plug and Play. Select 'Create a new port', and select 'Standard TCP/IP Port'. You will then be asked to set up the new port. You will need to type in the IP address, and the exact Port Name as shown on PS Admin. On the next window, ensure that the Generic Network Card is selected in the interface type, and click next. On the next window select your Printer Driver. The printer should then be added, and a Printer Test Page sent.
When I set up an HP LaserJet 1200, at this point I got an error message saying Print Failed. If you get this message, Delete the print job, then go into Printers and Faxes, and bring up the Properties of the printer. Click on the Ports tab, and click Configure Port. Under 'Protocol', select the LPR radio button. Click OK,and resend the test page. It should now work.
Anyway, even if this is of no help to you, going out and buying an Axis or HP print server is a better choice. This old boxes are out dated and a pain in the neck.
Enjoy, Adam.

Have you enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the W2k/XP machines (TCP/IP properties/WINS) and specified your WINS Server?
Can you map using the IP address instead of the name?
