Lost printer server after Firmware update on Archer A7
Lost printer server after Firmware update on Archer A7
I recently upgraded my firmware on my Archer A7 v5.0 to 1.0.11 Build 20190810 rel.50990(5553) and I seem to have lost my print server settings. All I see under USB devices is the file share settings. What happened to the printer control? Now my wireless usb printer will not print and will not show in the desktop print controller utility anymore.

@Him0045 Sorry for not following up on my earlier post about the print server utility. I was initially delighted that the Archer A7 came with a print server utility, even though that was not advertised. Once I installed it, I found that it seemed to be a legacy program, and was very quirky. It initially worked pretty well on my desktop Win 10 computer, but I don't think I ever got it to work on my Win 10 Surface Book 2 laptop. That was the machine that I was most interested in configuring for printing to a networked printer. When it started giving me trouble even on my desktop computer, I just gave up and went back to my old configuration of having the printer plugged into the desktop tower. And I uninstalled the print server utility, because it seemed to be causing some other non-printing-related problems on the machines where I had it installed. My hardware version is Archer A7 v5.0. My firmware version is 1.0.14 Build 20200220 rel.33197(5553)
