1) Ensure you've run the D-Link supplied automatic configuration wizard. 2) Also ensure you have "Netbios over TCP/IP" enabled in your network settings. 3)Ensure you turn off "Bidirectional Printing" in the Ports tab and "Enabled Advanced printing features" in the advanced tab, for testing purposes. I know the printer connectivity is officially supported by D-Link (thru an independent 3rd party test facility) but it seems they may have had NetBeui installed, which is an outdated networking protocol. Try the first 3 options I gave, if they don't work, then let me know. ZT3000 "Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"

I'm assuming the "not helpful" neg you gave means the 3 options I provided didn't affect your situation??
Okay,
I'll need a little bit more feedback on what you are experiencing and have/haven't done in order to give you the solution. Groping in the dark is not that fun.
Just know that the raw TCP printer port numbers for your dpr1260 are such.
USB1 = 9100
USB2 - 9101
USB3 = 9102
USB4 - 9103
Can we assume the router's internal printer automatic configuration wizard does not recognize the printer when you go thru the steps as noted on page 22 of the user's manual, AND that you setup the wireless portion FIRST (as instructed by the manual)??

Since you have the latest firmware, the only thing left is to hardware reset the router.
I've included a couple screenshots of my setup to a print server. Normally I'd use the 9100 etc ports but I just didnt do it this time.
If the hardware reset doesn't work, then there is an unsolvable hardware conflict.

Yes! port numbers are as you have specified.
DPR1260 wizard does recognize the printer. Wireless was setup first. I have also checked setting: Netbios over TCP/IP, Bidirectional Printing,Advanced printing features,UPnp and SSDP are automatic and started - still HP1018 is shown by DPR1260 and control panel of winxp as offline, it doesnt print.
Interestingly My second printer Epson c43 is working perfectly behind DPR1260
I'm having the exact same problem (have the HP 1018 too). One interesting I'm finding is that if I connect the printer to my computer via USB, and print something out.... then connect the printer to the DPR-1260 print server, the status of the printer appears as "on-line" and I am able to wirelessly print... until I turn off the printer. Then I would need to do the whole setup again to get it to work.
I have no problems what-so-ever with my other printer, an Epson RX500.
I hooked up DPR-1260 to my wired network and its received its ip via DHCP from my router right away. Update FW from 1.12 to 1.21, reboot then reassigned a static ip. Turned off the wireless option as I don't want to use that at the moment, as where I plan to put the printer/DPR-1260 has an ethernet port. Reboot the DPR-1260 after all that and hook my always on HP1018 to USB1 and ran the setup wizard from DPR-1260 and printed the test page successfully. I turn off the printer, unplug DPR-1260 and brought both of them down stair to hook them up to their final position.
When I tried to print again, my documents isn't printing and keep staying on the queue and no error/msg reported. Now I notice that 'Offline' on the title of the queue as well as in the DPR-1260 setup page.
These are the things I tried:
Turn off bidirectional
Turn on NetBIOS in TCP/ip
Tried LPR instead of RAW.
I'll try hard reset

Tks! Atleast with firm upgrade now dpr1260 shows HP 1018 ready. But doesnt take any print command.
With firmupgrade 1.24, HP 1018 is now shown as ready but doesnt take any print command
I have this same problem. I set the unit up without too many issues, and I have been able to get it to work with my HP laserjet 3030. I am using Network Magic to manage my home network so it is easy to monitor whether or not the DPR-1260 is ONLINE or not. I can use it no problem for intermittant periods, then suddenly, it goes OFFLINE and the only thing I can do to change this is to go into the basement and power cycle this unit. I have 1.24 firmware. I have not ever been able to scan, but it works fine WHEN IT WORKS which is frustrating.
