Since the printer is networked, the printer is not found and no data is sent. The solution is to add your printer as a network printer as described in Issue Two. The following is a list of a few common WPS printers: Canon LBP-430W Epson ActionLaser 1300/W, Epson EPL-5500/W Epson Stylus Series, Lexmark WinWriter Series NEC SuperScript series, Olivetti PG304 Samsung MyLaser Series HP DeskJet CX and CS Series 4.
