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 dont have to leave it on all the time. It also removes 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.  
mbps: one million bits per second; a unit of  
measurement for data transmission  
But what does all of this mean?  
lan (local area network): the computers and  
networking products that make up the network  
in your home or office  
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.  
ethernet: an IEEE standard network protocol that  
specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from  
a common transmission medium  
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.  
802.11b: an IEEE wireless networking standard  
that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of  
11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz  
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.  
802.11g: an IEEE wireless networking standard  
that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of  
54Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and  
backward compatibility with 802.11b devices  
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.  
browser: an application program that  
provides a way to look at and interact with all  
the information on the World Wide Web

Overview  
After setting up the PrintServer with the Setup Wizard, the PrintServer will be ready for use. However, if you’d like  
to change its settings, use the PrintServer’s web-based utility. This chapter will describe each web page of the  
utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed via your web browser through the use of a  
networked computer.  
There are six main tabs: Setup, Protocol, Wireless, Printer, Status, and Exit. Additional tabs will be available after  
you click one of the main tabs, except for the Setup tab.  
To access the web-based utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the PrintServer’s IP  
address in the Address field. Then press Enter.  
NOTE: Use the PrintServer’s IP address that you noted when you ran the Setup Wizard. Otherwise,  
insert the Setup CD-ROM, and when the Welcome screen appears, click Setup Wizard. Follow the  
instructions until you reach the Wireless-G PrintServer Setup screen. Note the IP address, and then  
click Back until you reach the Welcome screen. Click Exit.

Chapter 8: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)  
Overview  
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a standards-based system that allows 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 IPP. (IPP 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 or XP, 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  
Installing using setup.exe  
1. Run this program, located at d:\driver\ipp\setup.exe, to unzip the included files.  
2. The IPP Setup program will then run.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting  
This appendix consists of Common Problems and Solutions. Provided are possible solutions to problems that  
may occur during the installation and operation of the PrintServer. Read the descriptions below to help you solve  
your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.  
Common Problems and Solutions  
1. All the LEDs on the front of the PrintServer are not lit.  
Check the power adapter and the connection to the electrical outlet.  
2. The PrintServer’s Power LED lights up orange or flashes continuously.  
Reset the PrintServer. Unplug the power adapter and plug it back in, or press the Reset button on the back of  
the PrintServer for approximately ten seconds.  
3. I am using DHCP, and the PrintServer gets an IP address conflict involving the PrintServer.  
If the PrintServer is left powered on when the DHCP server, which is usually the network router, is powered  
off, the PrintServer will retain its IP address without informing the DHCP server. Reset the PrintServer so it will  
obtain a new IP address. This problem may also occur if you assigned a static IP address within the range  
used by the DHCP server. If so, use another address NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.  
4. The PrintServer’s Ethernet LED is not lit.  
Check your Ethernet network cable and make sure that the appropriate Ethernet or Link LED on your router or  
switch is lit.  
5. A printer connected to the PrintServer cannot print or prints garbage.  
Do the following:  
Check the cable connection between the PrintServer and printer.  
Make sure the printer driver in the application program or Windows matches the printer.  
Make sure the printer is not too long, less than 10 feet.  
6. The Configuration button on the Printer Status screen in Bi-Admin is grayed out, even though my  
printer is bi-directional.  
The button is unavailable until the printer has finished its print jobs and sits idle.

7. To start over, I need to set the PrintServer to its factory default settings.  
Unplug the PrintServer’s power adapter. Press the Reset button while you plug in the PrintServer’s power  
adapter. Continue to hold the Reset button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will reset the password,  
wireless, and other settings on the PrintServer to the factory defaults. In other words, the PrintServer will  
revert to its original factory configuration.  
8. I need to upgrade the firmware.  
In order to upgrade the firmware with the latest features, follow these steps:  
1. Go to the Linksys website at http://www.linksys.com and download the latest firmware for the  
PrintServer. Then extract the firmware file on your PC.  
2. Open the PrintServer’s Web-based Utility. Click Status and then Device.  
3. Click the Upgrade button, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Appendix B: Wireless Security  
Linksys wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. The current generation of  
Linksys products provide several network security features, but they require specific action on your part for  
implementation. So, keep the following in mind whenever you are setting up or using your wireless network.  
Security Precautions  
The following is a complete list of security precautions to take:  
1. Change the default SSID.  
2. Disable SSID Broadcast.  
3. Change the default password for the Administrator account.  
4. Enable MAC Address Filtering.  
Note: Some of these security features are  
available only through the network router or  
access point. Refer to the router or access  
point’s documentation for more information.  
5. Change the SSID periodically.  
6. Use the highest encryption algorithm possible. Use WPA if it is available. Please note that this may reduce  
your network performance.  
7. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically.  
To ensure network security, at least steps one through five should be followed.  
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks  
Wireless networks are easy to find. Hackers know that in order to join a wireless network, wireless networking  
products first listen for beacon messages. These messages can be easily decrypted and contain much of the  
network’s information, such as the network’s SSID (Service Set Identifier). Here are the steps you can take:  
Change the administrator’s password regularly. With every wireless networking device you use, keep in mind  
that network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are stored in its firmware. Your network administrator is the only  
person who can change network settings. If a hacker gets a hold of the administrator’s password, he, too, can  
change those settings. So, make it harder for a hacker to get that information. Change the administrator’s  
password regularly.  
Appendix B: Wireless Security  
Security Precautions

Wireless-G PrintServer  
SSID. There are several things to keep in mind about the SSID:  
1. Disable Broadcast  
2. Make it unique  
3. Change it often  
Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. While this option may be  
more convenient, it allows anyone to log into your wireless network. This includes hackers. So, dont broadcast  
the SSID.  
Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set by the factory. (The Linksys default SSID is linksys.)  
Hackers know these defaults and can check these against your network. Change your SSID to something unique  
and not something related to your company or the networking products you use.  
Change your SSID regularly so that any hackers who have gained access to your wireless network will have to  
start from the beginning in trying to break in.  
MAC Addresses. Enable MAC Address filtering. MAC Address filtering will allow you to provide access to only  
those wireless nodes with certain MAC Addresses. This makes it harder for a hacker to access your network with  
a random MAC Address.  
WEP Encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is often looked upon as a cure-all for wireless security  
concerns. This is overstating WEPs ability. Again, this can only provide enough security to make a hacker’s job  
more difficult.  
There are several ways that WEP can be maximized:  
1. Use the highest level of encryption possible  
2. Use Shared Key” authentication  
Important: Always remember that each  
device in your wireless network MUST use  
the same encryption method and encryption  
key or your wireless network will not function  
properly.  
3. Change your WEP key regularly  
WPA. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the newest and best available standard in Wi-Fi security. Two modes are  
available: Pre-Shared Key and RADIUS. Pre-Shared Key gives you a choice of two encryption methods: TKIP  
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), which utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message  
Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers, and AES (Advanced Encryption System), which utilizes  
a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption. RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) utilizes a  
RADIUS server for authentication and the use of dynamic TKIP, AES, or WEP.  
Appendix B: Wireless Security  
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks

Wireless-G PrintServer  
WPA Pre-Shared Key. If you do not have a RADIUS server, select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES, enter a  
password in the Pre-Shared key field of 8-64 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time between  
0 and 99,999 seconds, which instructs the Router or other device how often it should change the encryption  
keys.  
WPA RADIUS. WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS  
server is connected to the Router or other device.) First, select the type of WPA algorithm, TKIP or AES. Enter  
the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port number, along with a key shared between the device and the server.  
Last, enter a Group Key Renewal period, which instructs the device how often it should change the encryption  
keys.  
RADIUS. WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is  
connected to the Router or other device.) First, enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port number, along  
with a key shared between the device and the server. Then, select a WEP key and a level of WEP encryption,  
and either generate a WEP key through the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.  
Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your network’s performance, but if you are transmitting  
sensitive data over your network, encryption should be used.  
These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you are enjoying the most flexible  
and convenient technology Linksys has to offer.

Wireless-G PrintServer  
Appendix C: About Bi-Directional Printing  
Normal printing only sends print signals from a PC to a printer. Bi-directional printing, also called bitronic printing,  
refers to a printer’s ability to do just the opposite—talk back to a PC to notify it of a print job status, paper jams, etc.  
This two-way communication technology can be found in HP, IBM, Panasonic, and other laser or color printers where  
close contact between the PC and printer is key. In color printing, for example, the printer informs” the PC of its  
constant status in order to mix color inks correctly for optimal quality output.  
Bi-directional communication, communication from a printer to a PC, is normally handled by a combination of the  
printer hardware and special software on your computer. Bi-directional printers generally have highly advanced  
parallel interfaces. These printers often require special parallel ports in order to take full advantage of their features.  
Using a bi-directional printer on a network poses unique challenges. Unlike a direct PC-to-printer connection during  
which a bi-directional printer can easily send its signals back to the host PC through the computer’s parallel port  
(which is normally located only a few feet away from the printer), a networked printer faces the problem of having to  
route messages bound for a particular PC through a large array of hubs, switches, file servers, and computers.  
Unfortunately, most printers are not equipped to handle the complexities of printer-to-PC communication across a  
network. That does not mean that they can’t be used on a network, however.  
Linksys designed the PrintServers to function with both regular as well as bi-directional printers. Standard print  
servers cannot work with bi-directional printers, but the PrintServer features a custom design to support both parallel  
as well as bi-directional parallel interfaces. However, the PrintServer cannot pass messages from the printer back to  
the printing PCthis limitation is simply an industry standard, and not one of the PrintServer itself.  
However, the PrintServer can check any printer’s online and printing status on the network using the Bi-Admin  
management utility software packaged with the PrintServer. The status-checking feature built into the management  
software does not require a bi-directional printer to function. If your printer came with special bi-directional software  
allowing you to monitor printer status, do not use it with the PrintServer—the software is most likely not network-  
capable. For best results, turn off the printer’s bi-directional function either by (1) removing any bi-directional printing  
software from your network computers, and/or (2) turning off the printer’s bi-directional print feature inside of the  
printer’s on-board menus (if it has menus). Your printer’s user guide should be able to provide specific instructions for  
doing this.
