Product Overview Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Product Overview Thank you for choosing the Linksys PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch (PrintServer). The PrintServer will allow you to network your printers. The PrintServer lets you connect a USB printer directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print serving chores. In addition, the PrintServer includes a 4-port 10/100 switch, so you can easily add more devices to your network.
Configuration Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Configuration The PrintServer has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings in the Setup Wizard. However, if you’d like to change these settings, you can use the PrintServer’s web-based utility. This chapter will describe each web page in the utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed via your web browser through the use of a computer.
Configuration Chapter 2 The Protocol Tab > TCP/IP Click the TCP/IP tab to view or change the TCP/IP values of the PrintServer. allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet. Typically only Macintosh computers use AppleTalk, although other platforms can be made to use it with extra software. Protocol > Apple Talk Communication Protocol > TCP/IP IP Address Obtain an IP Address Automatically If you are using DHCP to assign IP addresses, select Obtain an IP Address Automatically.
Configuration Chapter 2 Domain Name Enter the name of the domain that you want to associate with the PrintServer. If you are unsure of the Domain Name, you can find it out by looking on any computer already on the network. In Windows 98, rightclick Network Neighborhood and select Properties. Under the Identification tab, you will see a list of that computer’s name, and the Domain to which it is connected. For Windows Me and 2000, right-click My Network Places.

Click Get Data to update the display with the current data for the selected logical printer. Details Pre-string (Hex) Enter the printer control string (in hexadecimal characters) to be sent to the printer before each print job. This string cannot exceed 30 characters.
Internet Printing Protocol Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Internet Printing Protocol Overview Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a new standardsbased system to allow 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.
Internet Printing Protocol Chapter 3 •• To create additional IPP ports, repeat the entire procedure. •• The Proxy Server and other options are set individually for each IPP Port. Changing the IPP Port Settings After the IPP port is created, you can reach the Configure IPP Port screen by performing these steps: 1. Open the Printers folder (click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers). 2. Right-click the IPP Printer and select Properties. 3.
Chapter 3 Internet Printing Protocol •• 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—that can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP Server.
Bi-Admin Management Chapter 4 Chapter 4: Bi-Admin Management Overview The PrintServer is managed by a utility program called Bi-Admin on the PrintServer’s Setup CD. Fully compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the PrintServer’s internal settings, check the unit’s status, and perform basic diagnostic tests. Note that the Bi-Admin program must be installed only on the network administrator’s computer. First, you will install Bi-Admin on your computer.

The tabs are described below. •• TCP/IP You first need to specify whether the PrintServer’s IP address will be automatically assigned via DHCP, or if it is a fixed (also called static) IP address. If you use DHCP to assign IP addresses, select Dynamic IP Address (DHCP). This is enabled by default.
Bi-Admin Management Chapter 4 To find your router’s IP address, consult your router’s documentation. The IP Address and Subnet Mask are the same as those of any PC connected to the network. If you change the PrintServer’s IP address, make sure you that you reconnect to the PrintServer using the new IP address. Otherwise, you will not be communicating with the PrintServer. The Gateway IP Address is not necessary for using the PrintServer.

Appendix E c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.

Appendix E freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
Appendix E Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3.
Appendix E Software End User License Agreement b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. 8.
