Thanks for the quick reply. Just to clarify things a bit, the print server device I'm trying to use is a HP 2101nw Wireless G USB print server which connects to the USB port in my PSC1500 printer. My Linux box is hardwired using a standard CAT5 network cable into a Netgear wireless router which then connects to the print server device. I can ping the 2101nw device from my linux box but the device doesn't respond to the SNMP troubleshooting commands (snmpwalk etc etc) as described in the CUPS documentation. In addition the documentation supplied with the print server doesn't state what protocol is used to communicate with it, although I've tried HTTP, IPP and Jet (Socket) without success.
