I recently upgraded Windows 7 from 32 bit to 64 bit. I also switched my router from a very old model of Netgear to TP-Link.

Before these updates, I had been using a USB print server by IOGear. After the updates, I took care to reinstall the drivers for both the print server and the printer, and picked the option to install a printer via TCP/IP, but no matter what I did, the driver software couldn't locate the print server on my network. I hit refresh, restarted my machine, turned off the firewalls and tried again. Still nothing.

I'm at my wit's end. What else is left to try?

Edit: More info. The print server is connected to the router via LAN line. The computer is connected to the router with a wireless connection.

Send documents to printer without waiting for Vista to handle queue

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
I got a print server on our old printer. Vista has its own queue which presents a problem. I want to bypass this queue and send everything straight away to the printer so the print server deals with the queue and not Vista. Problem is when a second document is being printed from the same computer… >>> More
bad printer isolation on print server or better way?

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have noticed that when a printer or driver screws up on a Windows server it usually locks up or kills the print spooler and everyone can't print until it is fixed. Usually we have to put the troublesome printer on another server so when it fails, it doesn't take the whole group with it. That is… >>> More
