Is this Print server Vista certified?
I know that there were firmware updates released to make some models work with Vista, Check with linksys to see if this applies to you model

Do you have web access to the print server, and which one is it? I am running a WPS11 without problems.

Well, it has a Web access like mine. If you can't access it wirelessly, hook a cable to it. If you don't know the IP address, reset it to factory defaults by holding down the reset button for 10-15 seconds then set it to a static IP. You have the default address, user and password for the default settings.
If you leave it on a static address, which needs to be outside you DHCP allowed address range, you can always find it. If you don't allow wireless access, you will have to plug in a cable when you need to change it.
If you don't have the owners manual, you can download it from the Linksys site.

I don't see any updated software. There was a thread about loading Lightscribe software (HP) where the .msi file was changed to allow for the 6.1 kernel. Of course, that was Vista ready prior to being changed.

what are your plans about it? ebay the print server and buy a wireless printer? 
actually, after several tries, neither of my computers is able to print anything... going to reset the WPSM54G...
maybe a HP wireless multifuntcion...
anybody knows if they work on Win7 x64?

Linksys Print Server WPM54G
I had a nice chat with an online tech support person on 8/21 about the WPM54G, and was told they are working on the software for Win7. Of course he/she did not have any idea when they would have anything ready. I even asked if they had a beta version that I may try or test.
Currently I have 2 solutions
#1 - connect the printer directly to my Win7 box, works fine lasts a long time. No other pc can print unless my Win7 box is on, which may not be the case and is not a good solution.
#2 - Set up my Win2003 box with the software for the print server and share the printer through it. This will work for me as it is also my DHCP server and is on all the time. I didn't do this initally because this server only has a 10M NIC and really didn't need to upgrade it to serve IP addresses.
I have not looked for any Win7 compatible print servers yet as I do like the linksys, and think will wait for the official release of Win7 and see how long Cisco takes to update.

Any have any luck with this?
I just got a new system with Windows 7 installed, and I have had my Linksys print working great on my old XP Pro machine with my HP 7210 aio, but I like everyone else can't get the scanning or any function that requires two way communication to work. So has anyone been able to figure it out, because I have reached the end of what I know how to do.
Thanks for your Help,
