Welcome
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0. The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for
USB 2.0 lets you connect a USB or parallel printer (or both) 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 removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work.
Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100 Ethernet cable, or wireless over 54Mbps Wireless-G
(802.11g). The wireless option lets you put your printers wherever you want to, without having to run cables.
Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to
it, and the printers it’s connected to. And if you don’t use wireless for general networking in your office, you can
still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print from visiting Wireless-G and Wireless-B PCs.
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. There’s also a separate port for a standard parallel printer. For even
more versatility, you can connect two printers, one to each port, and send your documents to whichever one is
most appropriate for each print server.
A user-friendly Setup Wizard makes installation easy, the compact case fits anywhere, and the three megabyte
print buffer size handles even large graphics-intensive print jobs. Let the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB
2.0 bring efficiency to your printing tasks.
