Wireless-G PrintServer
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer. The PrintServer lets you connect a USB printer
directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print sharing chores. Using a PrintServer frees
up your “print share PC” so you don’t have to leave it on all the time. It also r emoves the printing bottleneck, and
sets your PC free to do more useful work.
The USB port is compatible with USB 1.1 printers, as well as printers that support the new high-speed USB 2.0
specification for even faster throughput.
How does the PrintServer do all of this? A print server is a device that allows multiple computers to share a
printer over a network. You can connect the PrintServer directly to your network using an Ethernet network cable,
or you can connect the PrintServer over Wireless-G (802.11g) at up to 54Mbps. The wireless option lets you put
your printer wherever you want to, without having to run a cable. Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to
your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to it and its USB printer.
But what does all of this mean?
mbps: one million bits per second; a unit of
measurement for data transmission
Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share
Internet access, so you don’t need more than one high-speed Internet connection. Using the PrintServer, you can
access one printer from different computers. Plus, you can access data located on another computer’s hard drive
and play multi-player video games. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.
PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is
why the network is called “wired”.
PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the
same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network. This is sometimes called
a WLAN, or Wireless Local Area Network. Your network router bridges wireless networks of both 802.11b and
802.11g standards and wired networks, allowing them to communicate with each other.
To guide you through the process of installing the PrintServer, run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM (you
can use the instructions in the Quick Installation or User Guide to help you). After you have installed the
PrintServer, you can change its settings using its browser-based utility, which is described in this User Guide.
These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Wireless-G PrintServer.
