I set Network printing up on a 2wire router and took printer and Linux 
computer to a different location that had a Linksys WRT54G2 router and I 
loaded software in a Windows XP box for network printing.
Well I can't get the Windows or the Linux computer to print to Printer 
Samsung
CLX3175FN. The Linux computer had no problems on the 2Wire router.
I can ping the printer from the Linux or Windows computers but I can't 
print.
I called Linksys and they swear that their WRT54G2 has no problems of 
this nature.
But I still feel that there is a Router problem.
I connected both printers to USB and they print fine.
