This page shows you how to properly reset the Dlink DP-311P print server back to the original factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a device you cycle the power to the device. When you reset a device you take all the settings and return every single one of them back to factory defaults.

Warning: Be careful! Every setting you have ever changed on this device is erased. A complete reconfiguration is required after the reset is complete.

This print server doesn't have a physical reset button on the outside of the device. If you need to reset it you need to do so from inside the print server's interface. To gain access to the interface type the IP address of the print server into the address bar at the top of the page. You can find the default IP address here.

If the default IP address did not work you probably changed it at some point in the past. Use our free router detector software to find out what it is.
