What You Need to Know
Print Server
This is a computer or other device which manages one or more printers, and which sends print jobs
to each printer from the computer itself or other devices.
Operating System
An operating system (OS) is the interface which helps you manage a computer. Common examples
are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
Port
A port maps a network service such as http to a process running on your computer, such as a
process run by your web browser. When traffic from the Internet is received on your computer, the
port number is used to identify which process running on your computer it is intended for.
Internet Printing Protocol
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) uses TCP and UDP with port 631. It can run locally or over the
Internet on top of HTTP. It allows users to send print jobs to a printer, cancel a previous print job,
and know the status of the printer and print jobs.
Supported OSs
The following OSs support Device’s printer sharing feature.
•
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Macintosh OS X and later
versions.

use the printer. Follow your printer manufacturers instructions on how to install the printer
software on your computer.
Note: Your printer’s installation instructions may ask that you connect the printer to your
computer. Connect your printer to the Device instead.
