Q: Does the TEW-P1P support Macintosh operating systems?
Yes, but you must assign the print server an IP address from a Windows based operating
system first. Once that is done you can use LPR or LPD printing for the Macs and you
can manage the print server by entering its IP address into a web browser. Also the
printer must be a postscript printer.
Q: What is the queue name of the TEW-P1P or TEW-P1U?
The queue name will be lp1 and it is case sensitive.
Q: Why can’t I see my printer status information?
Print servers are IEEE1284 bi-directional compatible. This means that data can be sent
and received in both directions between the printer and the print server.
Toner status, paper level, etc., will not be communicated back to the PC. In order to get
printer status information, the proprietary printer driver has embedded code that needs to
be passed on to the print server, decoded, then interpreted by the print server. Trendware
print servers do not support embedded driver codes. Trendware print servers, whether in
Gateways or Stand Alone, are plain TCP/IP print servers.
Q: Why is my printer, printing a lot of garbage characters?
03/20/2006

For the TEW-P1P you can also try changing the port speed.
