    What to do if nothing is printing from my NETGEAR Print Server?

      Hannah ReynoldsJul 26, 2025
      If nothing is printing, try printing from another computer. You can also try turning the print server off and then on again. If the printer does not match the printer driver in the operating system, set up the print server using the PS121v2 Resource CD. Also, disable the printer's bidirectional feature if it is turned on under Windows 98SE or Windows ME.

    How to fix NETGEAR Print Server if it has no power?

      Eric KleinAug 6, 2025
      If the print server has no power, make sure the power cord is connected to the print server and that the power adapter is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it is in a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. If it is plugged directly into the wall, verify that it is not a switched outlet. Also, ensure you are using the correct NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your print server.
