Installation Steps
With all xPrintServer package contents and the requisite user-supplied items listed above, you may begin installation.
1. Make sure printing from your Windows or Mac computer (from which the USB printer is directly attached) is working before proceeding. If you are installing a new USB printer, this may require downloading and installing printer drivers to your desktop from the printer manufacturer.
2. Position the xPrintServer device. The xPrintServer can simply be placed as it is on a desk or other secure flat surface. Here are additional options:
- To install the rubber feet on the xPrintServer (for added grip and stability on a flat
surface), peel to unveil the adhesive strip on each rubber foot and press one foot onto each of all four bottom corners of the xPrintServer.
- To secure the xPrintServer into a server rack, utilize the included mounting bracket and
screws. There are a variety of ways to mount the bracket and then the xPrintServer unit, including the two sample methods in Figure 2-2.

3. Connect the USB printer cable to the USB port of the xPrintServer (if any).
4. Connect the network cable from the wireless router/switch to the xPrintServer.
5. Power on the xPrintServer with the supplied power cord. The xPrintServer will automatically set-up all printers on your network and/or USB-connected printers. The glowing “X” will blink quickly for about 30 seconds, and then it will pulse slowly to show it’s ready for printing.
6. Monitor the LEDs on the xPrintServer for activity and status information (see Ethernet LEDs and Status LEDs).
Figure 2-3 Quick Connect Diagram
Topology Support
The xPrintServer is hardwired (via standard CAT-5) cabling to a router, switch or hub. The system requires an Access Point (A/P) be also hardwired and connected to the network. The iOS devices associates with the A/P processed. The xPrintServer communicates with network attached printer(s); the printers may either be wired or wirel es s ly connected to the network.
For the xPrintServer to auto-detect printers on bootup, the xPrintServer and printers must be on the same subnet. After auto-detection has been completed, the xPrintServer can then be relocated to a different subnet (WI-FI connected subnet that iOS devices are connected to) assuming that subnet can route to the previous subnet.
The xPrintServer uses Zeroconf to advertise print services to the iOS device(s) and requires either one or both of the following:
Both the iOS device and the xPrintServer are on the same subnet. The iOS device and xPrintServer are on different subnets but multicast traffic is
communicated between the subnets.
Multicast configuration and support can be found in the Lantronix knowledgebase. You may

User Name Password
Local Authentication Login
Logging in through local authentication logs you directly into the xPrintServer unit through the local database.
Remote Authentication Login
Remote authentication allows authentication of users through Microsoft Active Directory. This is a feature that can be enabled by the Admin user. If Active Directory is enabled, the xPrintServer communicates with a remote server to authenticate user passwords (see Managing Active
Directory). The Admin user must first establish a remote authentication user name and password
in Microsoft Active Directory. Once established, users using remote authentication can follow the same steps under Local Authentication Login to login. Remote authentication is disabled by default.
Note: Though the xPrintServer supports remote authentication using MS Active Directory, it is
only used for authenticating print jobs sent to xPrintServer-protected printers. The xPrintServer GUI access will only authenticate against the xPrintServer-configured local user database.

Configuring Printers
Note: Discovery of the xPrintServer from a PC requires Bonjour, which may be installed via
iTunes or Safari or Bonjour Print Helper at
All printers are added and configured to the xPrintServer via discovery where the xPrintServ er discovers and provisions all network-connected printers as AirPrint printers. Discovery happens in one of two ways:
Auto Discovery: This is the automatic method of printer discovery and provisioning. Auto
discovery is enabled by default so that each time the xPrintServer starts up or a printer is connected to the USB port, the Discovery protocol automatically runs one time, discovering and provisioning all printers connected since the last start up. This automatic feature can be disabled.
Discovery: This is the Admin user-activated method of discovering and provisioning
printers that can be initiated after the xPrintServer is up and running. This method is useful in situations where printer(s) have been added since the last xPrintServer start up. A user may wish to discover and provision the printer(s) at a particular moment rather than waiting until the auto discovery opportunity at the next xPrintServer startup.
Note: Only printers listed among the Lantronix xPrintServer published list of printers will be auto-
provisioned after Discovery (see http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/mobile-print-
servers/supported-printer-list.html). Configuration options to manually add a printer and modify
advanced printer settings are available under Printers > Advanced. Use these advanced options
only if instructed to do so by Lantronix Technical Support.

Renaming xPrintServer Device
As part of the initialization process, the xPrintServer registers a Lantronix-spec if ic Bonj o ur Service Type (lantronix-ips._tcp which uses the default device name of xPrintServer). As with any Bonjour discovery application, you can find your xPrintServer or any Bonjour­supported web browser using the URL: http://<devicename>.local, substituting the <devicename> with the name of the device. Therefore, you would search for your xPrintServer device with http://xprintserver.local by default. If you change the default device name, the xPrintServer URL used to access the xPrintServer web interface would also be modified. For instance, if the default name xprintserver is renamed to printer1, the browser URL address would be http://printer1.local.
Note: All Apple devices natively include Bonjour Services. MS Windows Operating Systems do
not include Bonjour Service and will require an installation of an application that includes Bonjour Service for Windows, such as the Apple “Bonjour Print Services for Windows” or the Apple Safari for Windows. Once Bonjour Service for Windows has been installed, the xPrintServer can be discovered using the configured <name> in the web browser, as described above.
The directions below can be used by the Admin user to rename an xPrintServer device. This is a useful function in situations where there are multiple xPrintServers on a network as each device should have a unique name. Changing the xPrintServer name requires a restart to use the new xPrintServer name.
