1.1 Network Printing Architecture
By rst introducing the roles of a print server, client user and network server in the network-printing environment, this section illustrates how the 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server — often referred to subsequently simply as “the print server” — functions and operates on the network. Before you install and use the print server, it is strongly recommended that you read this section completely, then select only the chapters you need according to your network operating system. The print server provides a complete network printing solution, including peer-to-peer printing (PTPP), TCP/IP (LPR), IPP printing, NetWare bindery printing, AppleTalk and SMB printing.
1.1.1 Print Server Network Functions
Because the 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server supports IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, TCP/IP and AppleTalk network protocols, any networked computer can directly print to it through any of its installed protocols.
1.1.2 Network Printing Functions for Clients
The 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server provides a PTPP (peer-to-peer printing) driver and utilities for Windows 95/98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/Server 2003/ Vista users. PTPP supports the TCP/IP protocol.

INTRODUCTION
In the client installation procedure, after the PTPP driver is installed in Windows, the system will automatically (manual conguration is also allowed) search all the print servers on the network and then add their printing ports into Windows’ printing port (see below).
UNIX (including HP/UX, SCO Unix, SunOS, Solaris, Unixware DECUnix, IBM AIX and others) and Linux use the system-standard LPR to print through the print server.
MAC OS can use the system-standard AppleTalk network to print through the print server.
1.1.3 Network Printing Functions for a Network Server
The 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server provides a PTPP driver and utilities for Windows NT/2000/ Server 2003/Vista. After PTPP is installed, the server can directly print through the print server. Adding this printing function to Windows allows many advanced features to be used, such as print queue and user authority management.
In a NetWare environment, the 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server offers various printing modes, such as print queue, remote printer, etc.

INTRODUCTION
1.2 Network Printing Environment
In a Windows peer-to-peer network, the client’s PTPP driver will use the TCP/IP protocol to print through the print server.
In a Windows NT/2000/Server 2003/Vista network, the network printing function will become available after the PTPP driver is installed in Windows. As stated earlier, adding this printing function allows many advanced features to be used, such as print queue and user authority management.
In a NetWare network, the 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server offers various printing modes, such as print queue, remote printer, etc.

3. WindoWS Peer-to-Peer netWork
3.1 System Architecture
The print server supports Windows’ Peer-to-Peer Network Printing mode, which is suitable for most medium and small network environments.
The installation procedure is separated into two parts:
1. Administrator Installation and Setup (refer to section 3.2 for more detailed info). System administrators must:
• Install the administrator’s utilities into his/her computer.
• Congure the print server from the administrator’s conguration utility.
2. Client Installation and Conguration (refer to section 3.3 for more detailed info).
Client users must:
• Install a Windows PTPP driver for network printing. In addition, after PTPP is installed, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the network and add the printing port of the print servers into Windows’ printing port (refer to Network Printing Architecture in section 1.1 for more detailed information).

WINDOWS PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
3.5.1 Network Ports Quick Setup
The Network Ports Quick Setup utility offers a very simple method to add or remove the print server’s printer port from the client’s computer.
During the client’s installation procedure, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the network and add them into the printer ports of the client’s computer (shown at right).
If you have just installed another new print server in the network, you must run this
program rst. This program will search for new print servers and allow you to add
the new network printer port into the client’s computer conveniently. By performing the standard Add Printer procedure, you can then print directly to the printer through the newly installed print server.
Be aware that Network Ports Quick Setup utility can only detect and congure all print servers on the same network: It cannot search and congure print servers on
other subnets across network segments. You must use the Remote Ports utility described in the next section to manage remote (across network segments) print servers.
3.5.2 Remote Ports Utility
The Remote Ports utility offers a convenient way fto manage and add a printer port of the remote print server. From the assistant of this utility, you can print to other print servers outside the subnet across a network segment. Note, however, that this function only supports the TCP/IP network protocol.
