You can configure the N1200 to act as a printer server. That way, all PCs 
connected to the network can utilize the same printer. To set up the Printer 

Server, follow the steps below: 

 

1.  Connect the USB printer to one of the USB ports (preferably the rear USB 

ports; front USB ports can be used for external HDD enclosures). 

 

2.  Go to Start > Printers and Faxes. 

 

3.  Click on File > Add Printer. 
 

4.  The Add Printer Wizard appears on your screen. Click Next. 

 

5.  Select the “A network printer, or a printer attached to another 

computer” option. 

 

6.  Select “Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office 

network”, and enter “http://N1200_IP_ADDRESS:631/printers/usb-
printer

” into the URL field. 

 

7.  Your Windows system will ask you to install drivers for your printer. Select 

correct driver for your printer. 

 

8.  Your Windows system will ask you if you want to set this printer as 

“Default Printer”. Select Yes and all your print jobs will be submitted to 

this printer by default. Click Next. 

 

9.  Click Finish.
