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.

An operating system (OS) is the interface which helps you manage a computer. Common examples 
are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS or Linux.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) is a set of communications protocols that 
most of the Internet runs on.   

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. 

The Line Printer Remote (LPR) Protocol is software that provides printer spooling and print-server 
features using TCP/IP to connect printers and computers on a network.

Your operating system must support TCP/IP ports for printing and be compatible with the LPR 
protocol.

The following OSs support ZyXEL Device’s printer sharing feature.

• Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 

2000, Windows XP or Macintosh OS X.
