this bug might exist in 9.10 w/latest updates?

i have several 9.10 computers trying to communicate to an HP 810C on the wireless network. The printer is attached to a NetGear WGPS606 print server via USB. All the computers and the print server are routed through a Netopia 2247WGX router. The wireless connection itself is solid.

However, when I try to print, it takes over a minute for the printer to become active (load a sheet of paper), and over 10 minutes for the spooling to reach even 10%. The printer starts and stops several times up to this point. I have yet to get a completed print job.

Previously, I was using another wireless print server (TRENDnet TEW-P1PG) that connected directly to the printer via parallel (vs USB) port. Ubuntu even detected the printer properly through the print server, requiring minimal setup on my part and the setup worked flawlessly.

Since switching to a USB-based print server connection, I have yet to successfully print a page. The printer works fine with a direct USB connection.

Something is getting lost in the translation...
