Before performing client configuration, the Wireless USB Print Server must be installed on your LAN, and configured as described in the Wireless USB Print Server Installation section. Both the Wireless USB Print Server and the attached printer must be powered ON.

Note: You may need the Installation CD-ROM that came with your printer.

  1. Insert the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM.
  2. Click Additional Installs and then click Next.

  3. You will need to select the type of user that this computer will be: User, Administrator, Custom, or IPP Client.

  1. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the client installation.

 

User

User is the most common option that the majority of network clients will want to choose. This should be selected if the Wireless USB Print Server has already been configured and you just need printing capabilities on this computer.

  1. Click User and then click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
  2. You will then be prompted to install the PTP (Peer-to-Peer) driver. Click Yes.

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the location and install the PTP (Peer-to-Peer) driver.
  4. When that is completed, make sure the Configure Print Driver now checkbox is selected and click Finish.

  5. Click OK in the Information screen that appears. It may be necessary to minimize the Print Server Utility screen in order to see the Information screen.

  6. In the Printer Port Setup, select the port and click Next.



    If you do not see the printer, click Refresh until the port name appears.
  7. Click OK on the message that appears.


  8. Select the printer from the Existing Printers list.



    If the printer doesn’t appear, click Add New Printer and follow the onscreen instructions.
  9. Click Connect.

    If you do not see an asterisk next to the port name in the Printer Port Setup screen, click Refresh. If it still doesn’t appear, see Troubleshooting.
  10. Click Close.


  11. Repeat this step on each computer.

You will now be able to use your USB printer from this computer. To validate your setup, you can print a test page.
