Troubleshooting

• Printer not detected by controller:
  • Ensure the printer is powered and the USB cable is firmly connected.
  • Reboot the router/print server and PC.
  • Temporarily disable Windows Firewall or third-party security to test detection.
• Setup.exe won’t run / blocked:
  • Right-click → Run as administrator.
  • Unblock the file in Properties if Windows flags it.
• Driver problems / wrong driver:
  • Download the latest Windows driver from the printer manufacturer and point the installer to it when asked.
• Multiple users can’t print simultaneously:
  • Some print server implementations queue jobs; check TP-Link firmware settings or update firmware.
• Slow printing or disconnections:
  • Try a different USB cable, switch USB ports, update TP-Link firmware, and ensure stable network connectivity.

• Go to Configuration -> Print Server.
• Ensure "Allow network printing" is enabled.
• Click "Release Port" if it is stuck in a "Busy" state.
