Printer Setup for Windows

The Broadband Router provides printing support for 2 methods for printing from Win-
dows:

Print Port Driver. After installing the Print Port Driver, Windows users can print
directly to the Broadband Router. Print jobs are spooled (queued) on each PC.
The supplied Print Port Driver supports Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows
NT4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

LPD/LPR Printing. If using Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows 2000/2003
Server, LPD/LPR printing can be used. No software needs to be installed on either
the Windows Server or each client PC. Print jobs will be spooled (queued) on the
Windows Server, and can be managed using the standard Windows Server tools.

NOTE: GDI printers are not supported. Please refer to the CD for a list of GDI printers.
You can also check with the printer manufacturer.

Print Port Driver Setup

The following procedure is for all versions of Windows (95/98/ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP).
