Problems with DI-704P print server

I have a problem with my DI-704P using Red Hat linux 9. I have been able to access the internet fine but the print server function, which requires a driver in windows, does not work. The mfr of the product does not offer a driver for linux. I read somewhere that the the device supports Linux because there is a port named "lp" that appears under "locally connected" and will allow you to print. This does show up from time to time on my system but i cannot print through it after i am done with the setup. Any help?

I am having the same problem with my DI-704P. But I think the lp port you see on your linux box is the local parallel port and the the lp port on your router. I set it up as a jetdirect printer and used the ip address of the router (default 192.168.0.1) and port 515 (which according to nmap is the port of the printer) but I cannot get mine to work under RedHat 8 or 9. Any thoughts anyone?
I had the same problem trying to print using my DI-704P on RedHat 9. After trying several things, I found that this worked for me: Queue Type - Networked Unix (LPD), Server - 192.168.0.1, and Queue - lp (that's lower-case L and P).
