The Wireless USB Print Server can be used in any home or office network
environment to share a USB printer via an Ethernet network or a wireless network. By
using the USB Print Server to connect a USB printer to a wireless or Ethernet network
device, such as a wireless router or a switch, the USB printer can be shared by each
user on the network without having to tie up the resources of one computer to act as
the dedicated print server.

Overview
Your Wireless USB Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is
supported by all common Unix systems.
You must configure both the Wireless USB Print Server and your Unix system, as
described in the following sections.
Wireless USB Print Server IP Address Configuration
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the Wireless
USB Print Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:
● Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address
allocated to the Wireless USB Print Server.
● Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to
the Wireless USB Print Server, then restart the Wireless USB Print Server.
● Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard or BiAdmin utility to
allocate a valid IP Address to the Wireless USB Print Server.
● Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the Wireless
USB Print Server with the desired IP address, as follows:
file:///G|/CSO/T-Writer Repository/Networking/5436A Wireless Gutenberg/User Guide/English/install_unix.htm (1 of 8)9/14/2006 4:36:16 PM

Printing Methods IPP
Printing Methods
The Wireless USB Print Server supports a number of printing methods:
● Peer-to-peer Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your
computer, and sent directly to the Wireless USB Print Server when it is
available.
● Windows SMB Printing is a Microsoft standard for using a Network Printer. No
additional software needs to be installed on your Windows computer, and
printing from MS-DOS programs is supported. However, because the Wireless
USB Print Server cannot store files, large print jobs may cause problems.
● Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on
the Network Server (e.g. Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the Wireless USB
Print Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue.
For example, an important job can be moved to the head of the queue.
● AppleTalk is also supported, and normally no configuration of the Wireless USB
Print Server is required. Refer to the section for Macintosh installation
information.
Which printing method should I use?
● If using Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, or XP, the easiest method to use is
Peer-to-peer Printing.
● If using Windows and you need to print from MS-DOS programs, or you don't
wish to install additional software, use SMB. However, SMB is not suitable for
large, complex documents, so if you need this as well as MS-DOS printing, you
should install BOTH Peer-to-peer Printing and SMB printing. MS-DOS programs
can use the SMB printer, while the Windows programs should use Peer-to-peer

Printing.
● If your LAN has Network Servers (e.g. Windows NT, Windows 2000 Server), use
the method advised by your Network Administrator. The Wireless USB Print
Server can print via a queue located on a Network server, if desired.
● Unix users
● Macintosh users
Checking your Network Protocols (Windows 9x)
Your computer must have either the TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed. (All
versions of Windows after Windows 95 have TCP/IP installed by default.)
If you are using the Peer-to-peer Printing, the installation program will check this
for you. If you are using other methods, you must perform a manual check of these
settings. Perform the following steps:
1. Click Windows Settings, Control Panel, and then Network. You should see a
screen similar to the following:
The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that
the NetBEUI protocol is installed on this computer. Your computer will show the
name of the your Network card rather than PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.
The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP
is installed. Your computer will show the name of your Network card instead of
PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.

Printing Methods IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a standards-based system to allow remote printing
from a computer to any accessible printer. Normally, the printer will be attached to a
computer or other device which functions as an IPP Server.
Client computers need a compatible IPP Client program. Windows 2000 and XP
include a suitable IPP client. For other versions of Windows, a client program is
supplied on the Wireless USB Print Server's CD-ROM. The Client must also know
the IP Address or URL of the IPP Server.
IPP Server Configuration
The Print Server contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. No
additional configuration is necessary. However, the following requirements must be
met.
● The Print Server must have a valid IP Address.
● Any router, gateway, or firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must NOT
block the IPP protocol (TCP port 631). Your router, gateway or firewall must
open or forward port TCP port 631 to the IP address of the Print Server.
● 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 or XP, you must provide your clients
with the supplied IPP Client software. If it is not convenient to provide the CD-
ROM, supply the IPP_CLIENT.EXE file, located in the IPP folder.

There are 2 settings - Retry Interval and Retry Count - which can be adjusted if you
have problems connecting to the IPP Server.
● 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.
● 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.
IPP Client Setup - Windows 2000/XP
Windows 2000 and XP have their own IPP Client, and there is no need to install the
supplied IPP Client Software. To use the Windows IPP Client with the Print Server,
follow this procedure:
1. Start the Add Printer wizard.
2. Select Network Printer and click Next to see the Locate your Printer screen,
as shown below.

3. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your Intranet and enter
the URL of the IPP Server as follows, where ip_address represents the IP
Address of the IPP Server and 631 is the port number.
Port 1 ip_address:631/ipp/P1
These entries are case sensitive. They must be entered as shown,
with ipp in lower case, and P1 in UPPER case.
4. If the connection can be established and the printer on that port is online, the
following dialog will be displayed:
5. Click OK and then select the printer manufacturer and model to match the
printer connected to the port on the IPP Server.
6. Click Next and complete the Wizard. The IPP printer is now ready for use.
Using IPP Printers
The IPP Printer can be selected and used like any other Windows printer. If the IPP
Server is not on your network, your Internet connection needs to be active.
If using the supplied IPP Client software, you can use the Query IPP Printer program
installed with Add IPP Port to check the availability of the remote IPP Server.
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 2 settings - Retry Interval and
Retry Count - which can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP
Server.
See the Changing the IPP Port Settings section on this page for details.
