Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank 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.
802.11g: an IEEE wireless networking
standard that specifies a maximum data

Internet Printing allows you to automatically print any e-mails that are sent to a specific e-mail account on your
network. This is especially useful for printing information when you are not connected to the network. You can
print from any location where you can access e-mail. (See Figure 6-9.)
Mail Server. Enter the address of your mail server in the Mail Server IP Address. (This value must be a fixed IP
address.) Enter the Account Name and Account Password next. Enter the password again in the Verify Password
field. Then, enter the time interval for the PrintServer to check for e-mail to be printed, in hours and minutes in
the Check Mail every: field. You may also specify an e-mail address to which mails that cannot be printed are
routed; this is useful for both graphic-intensive e-mails and for troubleshooting purposes. Enter this e-mail
address in the Redirect unprintable Mail to: field.
Printer. Enter the Printer Model in the field provided. You can find this in the Device Manager. Then choose the
appropriate Printer Port from the drop-down menu:
• Parallel 1. This is the PrintServer’s Parallel port.
Figure 6-9: Printer - Internet Printing
• USB 1. This is the PrintServer’s USB port.
• Logical Printer 1-6. The PrintServer has six logical or virtual printer ports. For example, you can have three
different configurations for your parallel printer: Logical Printer 1 for landscape orientation, Logical Printer 2
for double-sided copies, and Logical Printer 3 for manual feed. Then configure the Logical Printers on the
Logical Port tab, so Logical Printers 1, 2, and 3 will be mapped to the physical printer on the PrintServer’s
Parallel port.

Chapter 8: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
Overview
Internet 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 Setup
Installing using setup.exe
1. 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.

2. Enter the IP Address or URL of the IPP Server.
3. 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.

3. Click the Port Settings or Configure Port button (Details or Port tab, depending on your version of Windows).
The Configure IPP Port screen (shown in Figure 8-4) will appear.
There are two settings, Retry Interval and Retry Count, which can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to
the IPP Server.
• The Retry Interval sets the time interval (in seconds) between connection attempts. Increase this number if
you have a poor connection, or the remote server is very busy.
• The Retry Count sets how many connection attempts will be made. Increase this number if you have a poor
connection, or the remote server is very busy.
Figure 8-4: Configure IPP Port
IPP Client Setup for Windows 2000 and XP

your Internet connection needs to be active.
If you wish to check the availability of the remote IPP Server, you can use the Query IPP Printer program installed
with the Add IPP Port program.
An IPP Server may be unavailable for any of the following reasons:
• It is powered off.
• A printer problem has caused the IPP Server to cease responding, and a restart (reboot) is required.
• The Server’s IP Address has changed.
• The Internet connection for the IPP Server is down.
• Network congestion causes the connection attempt to time out.
If using the supplied IPP Client software, there are two settings, Retry Interval and Retry Count, which can be
adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP Server.
See the previous section, “Changing the IPP Port Settings,” for details.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting
This appendix consists of “Common Problems and Solutions”. 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 Solutions
If 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.
The button is unavailable until the printer has finished its print jobs and sits idle.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions

7. To start over, I need to set the PrintServer to its factory default settings.
Unplug the PrintServer’s power adapter. Press the Reset button while you plug in the PrintServer’s power
adapter. Continue to hold the Reset button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will reset the password,
wireless, and other settings on the PrintServer to the factory defaults. In other words, the PrintServer will
revert to its original factory configuration.
8. I need to upgrade the firmware.
In order to upgrade the firmware with the latest features, you need to go to the Linksys website and download
the latest firmware at www.linksys.com.
Follow these steps:
1. Go to the Linksys website at http://www.linksys.com/international and download the latest firmware.
2. To upgrade the firmware, follow the steps in “Appendix D: Upgrading Firmware.”

Appendix B: Wireless Security
Linksys 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 Precautions
The 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
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.
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.
Appendix B: Wireless Security
Security Precautions
48
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0
SSID. 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 authentication
3. 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.
Appendix B: Wireless Security
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks
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.

Appendix C: About Bi-Directional Printing
Normal 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 networkcapable. 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.
