Noob alert:

I've had my PB for about 3 days, and I need to hook up my printer now. I have a wireless print server(d-link), and have no clue about how to enter all the settings for it, or to install the driver for the printer. Anybody else with printserver?

OK, I've talked with dlink, and they have no help (not a supported printer)

The thing is, that I can make the printer warm up, but it won't print anything. Anybody with print server experience?

You will need to install Gimp-Print (check VersionTracker) if your printer is supported. The only printers that will work "out of the box" with a print server are Postscript printers, and even those can be finicky sometimes.
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.
