Chapter 1 Product Overview

PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch

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. All four ports are auto speed negotiating,

and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. Each

port independently negotiates the best speed and half- or

full-duplex mode, for up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth per

port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged

packets from being passed on into the network.

Front Panel

Status (Green) The Status LED will remain

continuously lit when a printer is correctly

connected to the PrintServer. The LED will

flicker when print jobs are being transmitted to

the printer over the network.

USB (Green/Orange) The USB LED lights up

green when a printer is connected. The USB LED

lights up orange when there is an error.

1, 2, 3, 4 (Green) These numbered LEDs,

corresponding with the numbered ports on the

PrintServer’s back panel, serve two purposes.

If the LED is continuously illuminated, the

PrintServer is successfully connected to a device

through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering,

the PrintServer is actively sending or receiving

data to the wired network.

Chapter 3 Internet Printing Protocol

PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch

Chapter 3:

Internet Printing Protocol

Overview

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a new standards-

based 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.

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 the IPP protocol. (IPP

Protocol 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

Installation using setup.exe

Run this program, located at d:\driver\ipp\setup.exe,1.

to unzip the included files.

The IPP Setup program will then run.2.

Follow the prompts to complete the installation.3.

IPP Client Configuration for Windows 98, Me,

2000, and XP

Run the Add IPP Port program entry created by the1.

installation. The Configure IPP Port screen will appear.

Configure IPP Port

If Internet access from your location is via a Proxy2.

Server, select Access IPP Server via Proxy Server,

and enter details of your Proxy Server. (This will be the

same as your Browser configuration.)

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

Click4. Select Device Port to view the available ports

on the IPP Server, and select the appropriate port. A

connection to the IPP Server will be established at this

time.

Click5. Save to create the IPP port on your system. You

will see a message confirming that the port has been

created, and then the Add Port screen will appear.

Add Port

Perform one of these steps. Select an existing printer6.

to use the new port, and click OK.

Click Add New Printer to create a new printer to 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.

Chapter 3 Internet Printing Protocol

PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch

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:

Open the Printers folder (click1. Start, click Settings,

and then click Printers).

Right-click the IPP Printer and select2. Properties.

Click3. Port Settings or Configure Port (Details or Port

tab, depending on your version of Windows). The

Configure IPP Port screen will appear.

Configure IPP Port

There are two settings—Retry Interval and Retry Count—

that 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 for Windows 2000 and XP

Windows 2000 and XP have their own IPP Client, and there

is no need to install the supplied IPP Client Software.To use

this IPP Client with the PrintServer, follow this procedure:

Start the Add Printer Wizard.1.

Select2. Network Printer and click Next to display the

Locate your Printer screen.

Locate Your Printer

Select3. ConnecttoaprinterontheInternetoronyour

intranet, and enter the URL of the IPP Server as follows,

where ip_address represents the IP Address of the IPP

Server, and 631 represents the port number.

Port 1 ip_address:631/ipp/P1

NOTE: These entries are case sensitive. They

must be entered as shown, with “ipp” in

lowercase, and P1 in UPPERcase.

If the connection can be established, and the printer4.

on that port is online, the dialog box shown below will

be displayed. This screen notifies you that the printer

driver is not installed. Click OK.

Printer Driver Not Installed

Select the printer manufacturer and model to match5.

the printer connected to the port on the IPP Server.

Click6. Next to 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 you wish to check the availability of the remote IPP

Server, you can use the Query IPP Printer program installed

with Add IPP Port.

An IPP Server may be unavailable for any of the following

reasons:

It is powered off.•
