Introduction
The D-Link DP-301U Print Server is an Ethernet/USB print server that connects
to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer
services. The DP-301U manages the flow of print files from workstations or file
servers to connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a
file server or a PC acting as a print server can. With one USB (v2.0) port, the
DP-
301U can connect to almost any printer with a USB port.
The DP-301U includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based
networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to
ensure seamless connection to major networking Operating Systems.
The DP-301U has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-301U
also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-301U improves network printing services in the following ways:
The DP-301U delegates print jobs to the connect USB printer. This provides
workload relief to your file servers, and allows the file servers’ full capacity
to be used for file access or other direct services to network users. On peer-
to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without
increasing the load of another workstation or server.
The DP-301U’s USB port, version 2.0, can transmit to high-speed laser
printers much faster than a PC’s parallel printer port.
Because the DP-301U is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-
based print server, and the Print Server connects to your file servers through
the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum
convenience to users.

External Features
Port Connectors
The DP-301U’s USB port is located on its rear panel. The USB can be configured
using the
PS Admin
program or the print server’s Telnet interface. (See the
PS Admin User’s Guide
, available on the CD that came with the DP-301U, for
information about configuring the print server’s ports.) The Print Server also
supports web configuration permitting users to configure settings through the web
browser.
The default IP Address is as follows:
Default IP Address – 192.168.0.10
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
The DP-301U offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network
operating systems and protocols:
TCP/IP
UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX)
Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows XP
NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote Printing
NetBEUI
Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows for Workgroups,
Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server
AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
Windows-based setup and administration software,
PS Admin
, is supplied with
the Print Server, making configuration and management quick and easy. The
Print Server also supports configuration and management via the Telnet protocol
for networks without Windows-compatible machines.
Note:
The PC’s IP Address must be in the same subnet as the Print Server’s IP Address for
the two devices to communicate. (For example, if your Print Server’s IP Address is
192.168.0.10, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your computer’s IP Address
should be 192.168.0.x, where x is a value between 1-254, excluding 10.)
