Introduction
The D-Link DP-G310 Print Server is an 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 high-speed print
server that also can connect to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you
wish to locate printer services. The DP-G310 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 2.0
port, the DP-310 can connect to almost any printer with a USB connector.
The DP-G310 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-G310 has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-G310
also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-G310 improves network printing services in the following ways:
±
The DP-G310 picks up the workload of managing print file traffic to its connected
printers. 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-G310’s USB printer port is USB 2.0 port, which can transmit to
high-speed laser printer much faster than a PC’s USB printer port. High-speed laser
printer connected to the Print Server’s USB port can be operated at their full

capacity.
±
Because the DP-G310 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based
print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers through the network,
printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users.
The DP-G310 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/Vista,
NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote

NetBEUI
Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft

AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
Furthermore, the print server features a useful software: PS-Wizard. PS-Wizard is
an user-friendly program used to complete further settings for the print server, and
assist you to easily add a printer on your computer. See also the “Using The
PS-Wizard” chapter in this manual for the details. The print server also supports
configuration and management via the Telnet protocol for networks without
Windows-compatible machines.

External Features
Port Connector
The DP-G310’s USB port is located on its rear panel. The port is configurable using
the Web Configuration Interface or the print server’s Telnet interface. The Print
Server’s Web configuration permits users to configure settings through the web
browser.
Default IP Address of DP-G310 is set as automatically getting from DHCP server or
Router which build-in DHCP server.
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 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.)

Rear Panel Connectors
Network Cable Connector
The Print Server’s rear panel features an RJ-45 connector for connection to
10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be
Category 5 twisted-pair cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the
Print Server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the
