1Chapter 1: IntroductionWelcomeWireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0Chapter 1: IntroductionWelcomeThank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0. The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 lets you connect a USB or parallel printer (or both) directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print sharing chores. Using a PrintServer frees up your “print share PC” so you don’t have to leave it on all the time. It also removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work.Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100 Ethernet cable, or wireless over 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g). The wireless option lets you put your printers wherever you want to, without having to run cables. Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to it, and the printers it’s connected to. And if you don’t use wireless for general networking in your office, you can still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print from visiting Wireless-G and Wireless-B PCs.The USB port is compatible with USB 1.1 printers, as well as printers that support the new high-speed USB 2.0 specification for even faster throughput. There’s also a separate port for a standard parallel printer. For even more versatility, you can connect two printers, one to each port, and send your documents to whichever one is most appropriate for each print server.A user-friendly Setup Wizard makes installation easy, the compact case fits anywhere, and the three megabyte print buffer size handles even large graphics-intensive print jobs. Let the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 bring efficiency to your printing tasks.What’s in this Guide?This user guide covers the steps for setting up and using the PrintServer.• Chapter 1: IntroductionThis chapter describes the PrintServer’s applications and this User Guide.• Chapter 2: Getting to Know the PrintServerThis chapter describes the physical features of the PrintServer.• Chapter 3: Connecting the PrintServerThis chapter instructs you on how to connect the PrintServer to your network.• Chapter 4: Configuring the PrintServer using the Setup WizardThis chapter instructs you on how to use the Setup Wizard to install your PrintServer.802.11g: an IEEE wireless networking standard that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with 802.11b devices.

42Chapter 8: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)OverviewWireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0Chapter 8: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)OverviewInternet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a standards-based system that allows remote printing from a PC to any accessible printer. Normally, the printer will be attached to a computer or other device that functions as an IPP Server. For client PCs, it is necessary to install a compatible IPP Client program. The Client must also know the IP Address or URL of the IPP Server.The PrintServer contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. No additional configuration is necessary. However, the following requirements must be met:• The PrintServer must have a valid IP Address. For printing via the Internet, the PrintServer’s IP Address must be external (allocated by your ISP), rather than an IP Address on your local LAN.• Any Router, Gateway, or Firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must NOT block IPP. (IPP uses Port Services 631/TCP.)• You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP Address of the IPP Server. To use a URL rather than an IP Address, you need to register the domain name for the URL. • Unless clients are using Windows 2000, you must provide your clients with the supplied IPP Client software. If it is not convenient to provide the CD-ROM, supply the setup.exe file, located in the IPP folder. Windows IPP Client SetupInstalling using setup.exe1. Run this program, located at d:\driver\ipp\setup.exe, to unzip the included files. 2. The IPP Setup program will then run. 3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. IPP Client Configuration for Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP1. Run the Add IPP Port program entry created by the installation. A screen like the one shown in Figure 8-2 will be displayed. Figure 8-1: Configure IPP Port

If Internet access from your location is via a Proxy Server, check Access IPP Server via Proxy Server, and enter details of your Proxy Server. (This will be the same as your browser configuration.) 4. Click Select Device Port to view the available ports on the IPP Server, and select the appropriate port. (See Figure 8-2.) A connection to the IPP Server will be established at this time.5. Click OK to create the IPP port on your system. You will see a message confirming that the port has been created, and then you will see Figure 8-3. 6. Perform one of these steps.Select an existing printer to use the new port, and click OK.ORClick the Add New Printer button to create a new printer that will use the IPP port. This will start the Add Printer Wizard. Follow the prompts to complete the process. Make sure that the new printer uses the IPP port.Installation is now complete.• To create additional IPP ports, repeat the entire procedure. • The Proxy Server and other options are set individually for each IPP port.

Provided are possible solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the PrintServer. Read the descriptions below to help you solve your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.Common Problems and SolutionsIf the PrintServer is not working correctly, follow the advice in this chapter. If you have trouble printing, see Chapter 3 first, and then go to Chapter 8. If this Troubleshooting section does not resolve your problem, please see Appendix I to contact Technical Support. 1. All the LEDs on the front of the PrintServer are off.Check the power supply and the power connection.2. The PrintServer’s Status LED lights up orange or flashes continuously.Reset the PrintServer. Unplug the power supply and plug it back in, or press the Reset button on the back of the PrintServer for approximately ten seconds.3. I am using DHCP, and the PrintServer gets an IP address conflict involving the PrintServer.If the PrintServer is left on when the DHCP server is turned off, the PrintServer will retain its IP address without informing the DHCP server. Reset the PrintServer so it will obtain a new IP address. This problem may also occur if you assigned a static IP address within the range used by the DHCP server. If so, use another address NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.4. The PrintServer’s LAN LED is not lighting up.Check your cabling and make sure that the Link LED on your hub or switch is lit. 5. A printer connected to the PrintServer cannot print or prints garbage.Do the following:• Check the cable connection between the PrintServer and printer.• Make sure the printer driver in the application program or Windows matches the printer.• Make sure the cable distance is not too long, less than 10 feet.6. The Configuration button on the Printer Status screen in Bi-Admin is grayed out, even though my printer is bi-directional.

48Appendix B: Wireless SecuritySecurity PrecautionsWireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0Appendix B: Wireless SecurityLinksys wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. The current generation of Linksys products provide several network security features, but they require specific action on your part for implementation. So, keep the following in mind whenever you are setting up or using your wireless network.Security PrecautionsThe following is a complete list of security precautions to take (at least steps 1 through 5 should be followed):1. Change the default SSID. 2. Disable SSID Broadcast. 3. Change the default password for the Administrator account. 4. Enable MAC Address Filtering. 5. Change the SSID periodically. 6. Enable WEP 128-bit Encryption. Please note that this may reduce your network performance. 7. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically. For information on implementing these security features, refer to “Chapter 4: Configuring the PrintServer Using the Setup Wizard” or “Chapter 6: Configuring the PrintServer Using the Web-based Utility.”Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks Wireless networks are easy to find. Hackers know that in order to join a wireless network, wireless networking products first listen for “beacon messages”. These messages can be easily decrypted and contain much of the network’s information, such as the network’s SSID (Service Set Identifier). Here are the steps you can take:Change the administrator’s password regularly. With every wireless networking device you use, keep in mind that network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are stored in its firmware. Your network administrator is the only person who can change network settings. If a hacker gets a hold of the administrator’s password, he, too, can change those settings. So, make it harder for a hacker to get that information. Change the administrator’s password regularly.Note: Some of these security features are available only through the network router or access point. Refer to the router or access point’s documentation for more information.
49Appendix B: Wireless SecuritySecurity Threats Facing Wireless NetworksWireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0SSID. There are several things to keep in mind about the SSID: 1. Disable Broadcast 2. Make it unique 3. Change it often Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. While this option may be more convenient, it allows anyone to log into your wireless network. This includes hackers. So, don’t broadcast the SSID.Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set by the factory. (The Linksys default SSID is “linksys”.) Hackers know these defaults and can check these against your network. Change your SSID to something unique and not something related to your company or the networking products you use.Change your SSID regularly so that any hackers who have gained access to your wireless network will have start from the beginning in trying to break in.MAC Addresses. Enable MAC Address filtering. MAC Address filtering will allow you to provide access to only those wireless nodes with certain MAC Addresses. This makes it harder for a hacker to access your network with a random MAC Address. WEP Encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is often looked upon as a panacea for wireless security concerns. This is overstating WEP’s ability. Again, this can only provide enough security to make a hacker’s job more difficult.There are several ways that WEP can be maximized:1. Use the highest level of encryption possible 2. Use “Shared” Key authentication3. Use multiple WEP keys 4. Change your WEP key regularly Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your network’s performance. If you are transmitting sensitive data over your network, encryption should be used. These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you are enjoying the most flexible and convenient technology Linksys has to offer.Important: Always remember that each device in your wireless network MUST use the same WEP encryption method and encryption key or your wireless network will not function properly.
50Appendix C: About Bi-Directional PrintingWireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0Appendix C: About Bi-Directional PrintingNormal printing only sends print signals from a PC to a printer. Bi-directional printing, also called bitronic printing, refers to a printer’s ability to do just the opposite—talk back to a PC to notify it of a print job status, paper jams, etc. This two-way communication technology can be found in HP, IBM, Panasonic, and other laser or color printers where close contact between the PC and printer is key. In color printing, for example, the printer “informs” the PC of its constant status in order to mix color inks correctly for optimal quality output. Bi-directional communication, communication from a printer to a PC, is normally handled by a combination of the printer hardware and special software on your computer. Bi-directional printers generally have highly advanced parallel interfaces. These printers often require special parallel ports in order to take full advantage of their features. Using a bi-directional printer on a network poses unique challenges. Unlike a direct PC-to-printer connection during which a bi-directional printer can easily send its signals back to the host PC through the computer’s parallel port (which is normally located only a few feet away from the printer), a networked printer faces the problem of having to route messages bound for a particular PC through a large array of hubs, switches, file servers, and computers. Unfortunately, most printers are not equipped to handle the complexities of printer-to-PC communication across a network. That does not mean that they can’t be used on a network, however.Linksys designed the PrintServers to function with both regular as well as bi-directional printers. Standard print servers cannot work with bi-directional printers, but the PrintServer features a custom design to support both parallel as well as bi-directional parallel interfaces. However, the PrintServer cannot pass messages from the printer back to the printing PC—this limitation is simply an industry standard, and not one of the PrintServer itself. However, the PrintServer can check any printer’s online and printing status on the network using the Bi-Admin management utility software packaged with the PrintServer. The status-checking feature built into the management software does not require a bi-directional printer to function. If your printer came with special bi-directional software allowing you to monitor printer status, do not use it with the PrintServer—the software is most likely not network-capable. For best results, turn off the printer’s bi-directional function either by (1) removing any bi-directional printing software from your network computers, and/or (2) turning off the printer’s bi-directional print feature inside of the printer’s on-board menus (if it has menus). Your printer’s user guide should be able to provide specific instructions for doing this.
