Question Print Server issue!

Hi. I have a Canon MP750 all-in-one printer (USB only) and want to print with this from my 3 wireless laptops via my Netgear 834 router. I have purchased a Netgear PS121 USB / Ethernet mini print server which my laptop 'sees' wirelessly once configured, but only 'prints' blank pages. I am guessing that there may be a compatibility issue with the printer and print server (prior to purchase I was unable to confirm whether the two would definatly work together, very little online regarding the MP750!). I need to know if there IS a compatibility issue, and if so I will sell the PS121 on eBay - then anyone know what print server WILL work with my printer? Cheers...

heres a compatibilty list for it

NETGEAR Print Server Compatibility List

looks like you may need the WGPS606 instead, and the only 700 series MFP it lists is the 760 so even then its possible it wont work

Belkin also do a print server but it looks like your printer isnt listed on there either

Belkin Wireless USB Print Server Compatibility List

Then there is this Linksys.com - Products/Wireless/Basic Networking/Print Servers/Wireless-G/WPS54G

But unfortunately that says MFP's arent supported looks like you may have some difficulty with that printer sorry !

Ta! I have noted that the MP760 is listed as being compatible - and it looks (!) exactly the same as my MP750. Looks like a new printer then with WIFI...
