Sharing a USB Printer

This chapter describes how you can share a USB printer via your ZyXEL Device.

20.1 Overview

The ZyXEL Device allows you to share a USB printer on your LAN. You can do this by connecting a USB printer to one of the USB ports on the ZyXEL Device and then configuring a TCP/IP port on the computers connected to your network.

Figure 149 Sharing a USB Printer

The computers on your network must have the printer software already installed before they can create a TCP/IP port for printing via the network. Follow your printer manufacturers instructions on how to install the printer software on your computer. See Section 20.5 on page 243 for an example of adding a printer.

20.2 Requirements

To configure the print server you need the following:

Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Macintosh OS X.
