ReadyNas 104 - No printing with a DeskJet 895cse

Submitted by wonton on #1

Hi
I've installed the app on the readynas 104 and your client on my windows 8 machine. Windows installed the printer drivers and your client reports the printer is there.
Easy I thought but it doesn't print. In the print queue the status toggles between printing and restarting.
Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm using Version 2.7.2 on the my ReadyNas and 3.4.0 trial Client

A typo It's deskjet 895 Cxi. I'm not sure if this makes any difference.
Also I tried it on the windows 7 64 bit and have same problem.
Thanks

Have you got windows 10? If so can you start the client with the -3 flag as that uses new more compatible drivers.

e.g vhui64.exe -3

OK. I made a VM machine of Windows 10 64 bit and it works fine. My problem is that I need the -3 flag on the windows 7. Will this ever happen soon or shall I just buy a printer with wifi?
cheers
