(mac printer server)Connecting printer through USB on dlink 2750 router

[rr1995]

Hi

I have been trying to connect my brother HL L2321D printer through network. I have connected the printer to the dlink 2750u USB and created a print server through the modem's firmware. I selected the network path and it rune like a charm in windows laptops. The issue is with mac. I am unable to connect it to mac. Please help. I have downloaded all the drivers even tried putting the ip of the router in the ip section of printer in system preferences. But Alas!! Doesn't work. Can anyone help

What type of error does it give you? Can it see the printer?

It is not reading the printer. Getting tohe error "unable to verify the printer"

Also one more error occurred yesterday. Dlink router is actually a access point which is connected to the main router. I connected the printer to access point and created print server on access point. After doing that, the access point stopped assigning IP to other devices.

So I came to believe that print server is not possible on a access point. 

 

Now I am thinking of buying a separate print server (tp link) and connect it to the access point. So my question is, will that work?

Is this router setup in AP mode? If your Windows clients are setup on the 2nd router but your Mac is on the first this could explain why the Mac can't see the printer.

 

Can it ping the printers IP?

Brother printers are a PitA on any platform. If I walk into a client and they have any, that's the first change. Whether it be a neighbor or a Gov'rnmt Agency. Trying to do advanced or even minimal Wired/Wireless Networking using most any router or Ubiquiti, is almost a complete no go. A couple times they just worked and not even Brother knows why. We tell people not to touch them anymore than they have to.
