New On the port and cable linking
Sorry should have been more specific. The printer port on the d-link should be either a 9 pin or db25pin the printer cable has a centronics plug. I meant to say attach a serial cable from the pc lpt port (usually a db25 pin) to the d-link printer port db25 or 9 pin. Then run the command and see if the d-link blinks. SInce you have logged into the d-link and it says the system is up it should be all right from that side. From the windows side it has to address the raw port. The epson software should be able to tickle an ip address. I know jet direct for HP can drive it. Do ou have the latest epson software?
thanx,
bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your help. It seems to be a software issue. The post below has some links that I'll try.

Cheers,

     OK, so I've got this D-Link DI-704P. Works fine, except... - (Another Scott) - (10) - Sept. 4, 2002, 09:54:01 PM EDT

             No go. The D-Link knows when the printer is on, etc. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Sept. 4, 2002, 11:26:39 PM EDT
