Printer Server

You can configure the N199 to act as a printer server. That way, all PCs connected to the network can utilize the same printer. From the Status menu, choose the Printer item, and the Printer information screen appears. To setup in either Windows XP or Vista, please refer the following for steps.

Windows XP SP2

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://N199_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.

NOTE

•Not all USB printers are supported. Please check Thecus website for a list of supported printers.

•Note that if a multi-function (all-in-one) printer is attached to the N199, usually only the printing and fax functions will work. Other features, such as scanning, probably will not function.
