My wife sells a lot of things online. Ships out a few dozen packages a week. She has been printing labels on regular paper, cutting them out, and taping them to the packages. To make her life easier I bought her a Rollo printer. Rollo
The printer is awesome is uses thermal paper with adhesive on the back and prints a label in a second or two. The problem is it is USB only. We have no desktop computers. I bought this wireless print server 1 Port USB Wireless N Print Server - Network Printer Servers
I have connected the printer to this server and it works great from my MacBook and my son's windows laptop. The problem is my wife doesn't use a computer she does everything including printing the labels from her phone. AirPrint can't seem to find the printer.
Doing some reading my NAS (DS1618+) can act as a print server, even to a wireless printer on the network, and make it air print accessible. Perfect I thought but for some reason the NAS can't seem to find the printer. I get the attached error message. Any ideas? I enter the correct IP of the printer as I did on the Mac and PC andinstantly get the error message.
I can't connect the printer directly to the NAS via USB as the NAS is locked inside a walk in vault / safe room in our basement nd it would be very impractical to go down there and into the vault every time to get a label.
