Install a USB Printer
A USB printer can be connected to the Wireless MAXg Router and used as a
network printer if both your operating system and your printer support the Inter-
net Printing Protocol (IPP).
The following operating systems have built-in support for this function:
! Windows Server
! Windows Vista™, Windows
! Mac OS X
! Linux distributions supporting CUPS
Contact your printer manufacturer to determine if your printer supports IPP.
N o t e : When used with multi-function printers that scan and copy, the
Wireless MAXg Router only supports printing. For bi-directional
communication features such as scanning, connect the multi-function
printer directly to the computer. Also, notifications, such as low ink or
add paper, will not be transmitted from the Wireless MAXg Router to
your computer.
For instructions on printer installation for Windows Me and 98SE, Mac, and
Linux, see the User Guide on the USRobotics Installation CD-ROM.
Step One: Local Printer Installation
N o t e : If the printer has already been installed on every computer that will use
it once it is on the network, skip to "Step Two: Get Your Print Server
Information".
Before connecting your printer to the print server, it is important to install the
drivers provided by the printer manufacturer on each computer that will use the
printer.
1. Plug your USB printer into one of the USB ports on the computer.
2. Install the printer by following the installation instructions included with your
printer.
3. Print a test page to ensure that the printer is working properly.
4. Power off the printer.
