7.7  The Printer Server Screen
The Device allows you to share a USB printer on your LAN. You can do this by connecting a USB 
printer to one of the USB ports on the Device and then configuring a TCP/IP port on the computers 
connected to your network.

Sharing a USB Printer
7.7.1  Before You Begin
To configure the print server you need the following:
• Your Device must be connected to your computer and any other devices on your network. The 
USB printer must be connected to your Device.
• A USB printer with the driver already installed on your computer.
• The computers on your network must have the printer software already installed before they can 
create a TCP/IP port for printing via the network. 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.
Use this screen to enable or disable sharing of a USB printer via your Device. 
To access this screen, click Network Setting > Home Networking > Printer Server.
