7140 and printer server problems

[Spewk]

Hi all! and sorry for talking english
i'm new of this forum and i have a really big problem...
today i changed my old hp officejet 5310 (that worked greatly with my fritz!box fon wlan 7140) with a lexmark x7300 series (x7250) and...i just can't make it work with my router!
if i plug it into my pc via usb it works greatly, but if i connect it to the router, change port to avm: and try printing it doesn't work
it says "printing finished" but nothing happens

i'm just losing my mind on this problem :S

thanks all and sorry for my english

Hi Spewk,

the HP 6310 seems to be a HP PCL Level 3 Enhanced-Printer. I don't know the Lexmark x7250, but I think it's a GDI-Printer. GDI-Printers are not supported by AVM-USB. You can use GDI-Printers only in the newest firmware-versions for the FritzBox-7170 via "USB-Fernanschluss". This emulates a local USB-connection over ethernet.

I think a printserver like Lexmark N4000e is the only solution for your problem.

Thanks for your answer did you know if there's any hack for using 7170 usb driver on my 7140? thanks

I think, there's no hack available. This is a special feature for the 7170 and must be supported by the firmware istself (not only a driver). The firmware of the older boxes has no support for this feature. I think a printserver is the better choice.
