can't print to network printer

I haven't been able to get my network printer working. It's an HP DeskJet 970Cse connected to a Hawking PN7127P print server. I've tried all the options in the configure printers wizard but haven't been able to get anythin on the printer. This whole hardware setup works fine under Windows XP so I know it's not the hardware.

Any suggestions on how to get this working?
