Hi Joseph:

You don't give any information about your home network.  What other types of 
systems are on it?  If you have another linux box that has the printer 
working, use the settings from it (server, quename, etc.) as a guide to set 
the printer up under CUPS as an lpd-cups printer.  

I also use the Netgear PS110 which is similar to the PS101 but uses two 
printers.  The following are the settings that will likely cause problems: 
(use system-config-printer)

	Server:  this is the network address, i.e.: 192.168.0.71
	Queue:  the printer name: PS-Port_1
	Options: whatever your printer needs
	Driver:   use the one recommended for your printer to get things working
	Driver Options:  whatever meets your needs

HTH, Tom
