Overview

The ZoneAlarm Z100G router includes a built-in print server, enabling you to connect

USB-based printers to the router and share them across the network.

Note:

When using computers with a Windows 2000/XP operating system, the

ZoneAlarm router supports connecting up to four USB-based printers to the router.

When using computers with a MAC OS-X operating system, the ZoneAlarm router

supports connecting one printer.

The router automatically detects printers as they are plugged in, and they immediately

become available for printing. Usually, no special configuration is required on the

ZoneAlarm router.

Note:

The ZoneAlarm print server supports printing via "all-in-one" printers. Copying

and scanning functions are not supported.

Write down the port number allocated to the printer.

The port number appears in the

Printer Server TCP Port

field. You will need this

number later, when configuring computers to use the network printer.

To change the port number, do the following:

a.

Type the desired port number in the

Printer Server TCP Port

Printer port numbers may not overlap, and must be high ports.

You may want to change the port number if, for example, the printer you are setting

up is intended to replace another printer. In this case, you should change the

replacement printer's port number to the old printer's port number, and you can skip

the next step.
