Installing the printer port for network printers

Instructions for setting up a printer on the PC

Once you have installed the printer port you still cannot start printing. The printer port is nothing more than an additional interface on your PC, comparable with the USB port. It means that any printer you install on this port is also regarded as a local printer even though it is located in the network and possibly remote from you.

You still need to connect and configure the printer to this port.

ìConnect the printer to the USB interface on your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. The printer is installed in the same way as any other printer:

ìGo through Start Settings Printer and click on New Printer.

ìIn the window that opens, click on Next.

ìProceed as instructed by the printer installation wizard. Please note:

In the window in which you are prompted to specify the location of the printer you should select Local Printer (usually the default setting).

ìThen click on Next.

ìContinue to install the printer. Select your printer and click on Next.

ìWhen the window appears in which you are prompted to enter the type of connec- tion, double click on the port name Gigaset_Druckerport.

ìThen continue to install the printer and finish the installation.

Note:

The Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's printer server does not work bidirectionally. It does not evaluate any of the printer's response messages. For this reason please make sure that your printer is also configured unidirectionally.
