PRINTERS
On the Printers page, you can select a printer pool to install printer services, and to view
information about the printers that are connected to the DiskGO. You can assign a name
for the printer or allow the printer installer to assign the name based on the printer model.
Please note when printer services are being configured, the DiskGO is briefly unavailable
to client users. Therefore, configuring printer services is recommended as part of a
planned update. Also each computer that will be accessing the printer via the DiskGO
3.5” Network Hard Drive must have the printer driver installed (see “Adding Printers in
Windows”).
Setting the DiskGO as a Print Server
1. Open the Printers page from the Printers menu.
2. In the Printer Pool Name list, click the name of the pool in which to
install printer services.
3. Connect a USB printer to the USB port on the DiskGO and confirm that
the printer is turned on.
4. In the Connected Printers list, select the name of the connected printer
and click Apply.
Adding the Printer in Windows
1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the DiskGO folder.
2. Double-click Printer and Faxes.
3. Right-click the name of the printer you want to add, and then click
Connect.
4. Click OK on the message “The server for the printer does not have the
correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper
driver, click OK.”
5. Follow the instructions provided by the Add Printer Wizard.
