I don't know about Belkin print servers, but I expect you will have loaded
some client software on your PC which will give you extra virtual ports
(possibly with obscure names).
You now need to tell your PC which virtual port the printer is attached to.
If you can't get to the properties, you might need to reconnect the printer
to your PC temporarily.
