router recognizes printer / printer does not recognixe router

Device
Name: U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg Router (USR5461)
Firmware: 3.93.35.0.6 (Jan 5 2006)
Boot loader: CFE 3.91.37.0.1
Printer status: Not Ready
Printer location: http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer


I connected a router. My internet works great and the status page 'sees' the
printer but the printer status does not get the connection.

When I try to set up the printer in control panel - add a printer on the
internet - and past the url:http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer. I
get an error message - 'Windows cannot connect to the printer. The orinter
name was entered incorrectly or.........

Any ideas? I find it hard to believe that the printer simply cannot be used
with the router.

The printer is an epson cx3810. USRobotics says that all in 1 units will not
work.
Is there a way to fix this. It seems that I

Well, if USR says all-in-1 units won't work, and the Epson cx3810 is an
all-in-1 unit, then it probably won't work. If you're lucky, you might
get the printer to work, but almost certainly not the scanner interface.

Still, you don't seem to have even got to the point of finding out that
the printer won't work. Here are a few things to try before giving up:

· Was the printer connected to the router's print server port and
powered on before you checked the "Status" page?
· Did you copy and paste the URL?
· Do you have another USB cable to try?
· If no other USB cable, have you tried installing the printer as a
local printer to confirm that (a) the cable and (b) the printer itself
are functional?
· Do you have another printer to try -- just to see if you can get the
router/print server connection working?
