hp officejet K7100
My printer is supposedly compatible with the readynas - it appears on the compatibility list on the netgear site anyway. however it just doesn't print, the nas recognises the printer but it just hold...
Very Strange - when I went to the HP website to look for drivers for the Officejet K7100, the site came back with product not found. When I went to the support and trouble shooting tab, I got the same result. Googling HP Officejet K7100, it had a reference to drivers, which took me to the HP page for the K7100!. For Windows HP 64bit it said to use the drivers in the OS, but there was a patch if upgrading from Vista to Win 7. Very strange. Then I looked at the drivers for XP, and found this:

If that does not work, the only suggestion I can then come up with is to connect it to a PC that you can leave on as a local printer and share it across the network to the other machines or as an alternative find a print server that you can connect to your network.
Not all printers are compatible with the various ReadyNAS units. Some work like a charm, some don't work at all, and some work sporadically. You will note that there is no longer an "official" HCL list for printers. Clicking on printers in the HCL list takes you to the Community Hardware Compatibility List which is simply postings by others who have or have not had success with various printers.
Over the last four years as I have replaced printers, I have gone all network capable printers, mostly ethernet, but one wireless. The latest is an HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-In-One that is now two years old. I replaced an old scanner and HP Inkjet printer and has a smaller footprint and is connected directly to the router. I also serves as my home copier.
