Getting Started Setting up Your Print Server
Before you can print over the network using your D-Link print
server, you may need to perform some basic setup tasks. These
include:
♦ Choosing a name for your print server.
♦ Setting a password to protect your print server’s settings
from unauthorized modifications.
♦ Choosing names for the print server’s individual printer ports,
and changing the port settings.
♦ Testing the operation of the print server and checking that the
print server is connected properly.
Once you have finished with these tasks, you can proceed to set up
network printing for Novell NetWare, Microsoft Networks,
AppleTalk networks, and UNIX TCP/IP systems. Information
about setting up printing on these network types is covered in the
following chapters.
Choosing a Name for Your Print Server
Each D-Link network print server has a server name. When the
print server is shipped from the factory, it has a default name of the
form PS-
xxxxxx
, where
xxxxxx
represents the last six digits of
the Ethernet address found on the print server’s underside sticker.
