can't set up Belkin wireless print server

I have a Belkin wireless print server and according to the instructions, I should be able to print to it using lpd via linux and Macs.

I set the thing up fine on Win XP and there I can print fine, but using the setup for linux or for the Mac, the print jobs just disappear off the queue but don't print.

I'm trying to sort out what the problem might be.

I'm running CUPS on debian lenny and I set up the printer via the web interface, using the URI lpd://mfd8fdc7/lpt1 which is what the Belkin instructions seem to be telling me. I chose the printer driver Epson Stylus Photo - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2 since the Epson P50 isn't listed.

The job just disappears when I try to print a test page.

Using similar config from my Mac has the same result. The job just disappears.

I tried debugging and this is what I see:

DEBUG: 1.044 Scan complete!

which shows an error status of 2, not a good sign I think!

Then with snmpwalk all I get is this:

adam at isengard:~$ snmpwalk -Cc -v 1 -c public 192.168.0.213
End of MIB

Scanning the print server ports shows this:

adam at isengard:~$ nmap 192.168.0.213

Any inspired help about getting this going would be gratefully received!!

Thanks
