Go to start/settings/printers, right click on the networked printer and choose the details tab.  Look at the drop down with all the ports and make sure it is set to print to the print server port.  When you installed it to the print server, did you run the setup as a network printer? If the two printers are one and the same you will have to change the print to port each time you use it.
