Chapter 3
Print Server Configuration
This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.
Overview
The Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the configuration
required would depend upon the environment in which it is installed.
•
The Print Server usually requires configuration, but if there's a DHCP server on your
network, then the device is just plug-and-play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is also
provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.
•
•
PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the Print Server always require configuration.
See Chapter 4- Client Configuration for details.
If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT Server/Windows
2000/Windows XP, the Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B -
Windows Server Configuration. However, it is not necessary to use a Network Server-
based queue; client PCs can print directly to the Print Server using the Peer-to-peer
Printing installed by the User setup option on the CD-ROM.
Configuration Methods
The following methods are available to perform the required Print Server configuration:
•
•
•
Windows-based Wizard - see below for details.
BiAdmin management utility program - see Chapter 8 for details.
Web-based setup - see Chapter 6 for details.
Advanced Configuration and Management
The BiAdmin management utility is provided for advanced configuration and management.
This program is installed by default when the Administrator install option is chosen. See
Chapter 5 for details on using BiAdmin.
Using the Windows Wizard
The Windows-based Wizard is supplied on the CD-ROM, and runs on Windows 95, 98, NT4.0,
ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Using this Wizard is the recommended method to configure the Print Server.
It can be used configure the Print Server for your Network environment, even if the Print
Server does not have a valid IP address.
Procedure
1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start
automatically, run SETUP.exe in the root folder.
2. On the first screen, shown below, click Setup Wizard.

Figure 3: Print Server Screen
3. Click Next on the first screen of the Wizard, to view a list of Print Servers on your LAN.
4. Select your new Print Server, then click Next to continue.
5. Enter the required data on the following screen.
•
•
•
Name of the Print Server can be changed if you wish.
Comment is optional.
Select or enter the Workgroup name for this Print Server.
6. Click Next to configure the TCP/IP Screen:
•
Select Obtain IP Address automatically if your LAN has a DHCP Server, otherwise
select Fixed IP Address.
•
For Fixed IP Address, enter an unused address from the range used on your LAN, or
click the Suggest New Values Button.
Use the same Network Mask and Gateway as PCs on your LAN.
7. Click Finish to save the data to the Print Server.
Note: To install the Wizard on your PC, use the "Installation" option.
If the desired Print Server is not listed:
•
•

Chapter 4
Client PC Configuration
The chapter details the client configuration required on LAN clients to use the printer
or printers attached to the Print Server.
Overview
Before performing client configuration, the Print Server must be installed on your LAN, and
configured as described in Chapter 3. Both the Print Server and the attached printer must be
powered ON.
Printing Methods
The Print Server supports a number of printing methods:
•
Peer-to-peer Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and sent
directly to the Print Server when it is available.
•
Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network
Server (e.g. Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the Print Server. This allows the Network
Administrator to modify the Print Queue. For example, an important job can be moved to
the head of the queue.
•
•
Windows SMB printing is a Microsoft standard for using a "Network Printer". No
additional software needs to be installed on your Windows PC, and printing from MS-
DOS programs is supported. However, because the Print Server can not store files, large
print jobs may cause problems.
AppleTalk is also supported, and normally no configuration of the Print Server is required.
See the Macintosh section of this chapter for details of client configuration.
Which printing method should I use?
•
If using Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, or XP, the easiest method to use is Peer-to-peer
Printing.
•
If using Windows, and you need to print from MS-DOS programs, or you don't wish to
install additional software, use SMB.
However, SMB is not suitable for large, complex documents, so if you need this as well as
MS-DOS printing, you should install BOTH Peer-to-peer Printing and SMB printing. MS-
DOS programs can use the SMB printer, Windows programs should use Peer-to-peer
Printing.
•
If your LAN has Network Servers (e.g. Windows NT, Windows 2000 Server) use the
method advised by your Network Administrator. The Print Server can print via a queue
located on a Network server, if desired.
•
•
Unix users - refer to Appendix C - Unix Systems
Macintosh users - refer to the Macintosh section of this chapter.

Checking your Network Protocols (Windows 9x)
Your PC must have EITHER the TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed. (All versions of
Windows after Windows 95 have TCP/IP installed by default.)
•
•
If using the Peer-to-peer Printing, the installation program will check this for you.
If using other methods, you must check manually, as follows:
1. Select the Settings - Control Panel - Network option on the Start Menu. You should see a
screen like the one following:
Figure 4: Network Configuration
•
•
The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the
NetBEUI protocol is installed on this PC. Your PC will show the name of the your
Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".
The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP is
installed. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter".
2. If neither line is present:
•
Install the NetBEUI protocol by selecting Add - Protocol - Microsoft - NetBEUI - OK.
You may be prompted for your Windows CD-ROM.
•
If required, you can also install TCP/IP. However, depending on your LAN
environment, TCP/IP may require further configuration.
3. If either protocol is already installed, proceed with installation.

TCP/IP Tab
Selecting this tab will allow configuration for the TCP/IP network protocol. The basic options
are:
•
Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) - The IP address is obtained automatically, from a DHCP
Server on your network.
•
Fixed IP Address - You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
•
•
IP Address - Select an unused IP address from the address range used on your LAN.
Subnet Mask - Use the same values as PCs on your LAN (or on the same LAN
segment, if you have a Router).
•
Gateway - Use the same values as PCs on your LAN (or on the same LAN segment, if
you have a Router).
Some Print Server models also support the Auto-IP function. If the Print Server is set to
Dynamic IP Address, but there's no DHCP server found on the network, the Print Server will
get an IP from the range of 169.254.1.1 ~ 169.254.254.254 automatically. In this case, even
though the Print Server was initialized with an Auto-IP, it will change to DHCP whenever a
DHCP server is detected.

Chapter 6
Web-Based Management
This chapter explains how to use your Web Browser to configure the Print Server
Overview
The Print Server incorporate the HTTP server. This allows you to connect to the Print Server
and configure it using your Web Browser. Most browsers should work, provided they support
tables and forms.
Preparation
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, the Print
Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:
•
•
•
Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the
Print Server.
Use the Setup Wizard, BiAdmin or another Print Server utility to allocate a valid IP
Address to the Print Server.
Add an entry to the arptable to associate the hardware address of the Print Server with
the desired IP address, as follows:
arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
arp -s IP_Address 00-c0-02-xx-xx-xx
(Unix)
(Windows)
Where:
IP_Addressis the IP Address you wish to assign to the Print Server.
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xxis the hardware address of the Print Server.
Example (Unix):
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56
Example (Windows):
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00−c0−02−12−34−56
Note: The hardware address of the Print Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.

Chapter 7
Special Features
This chapter covers the special features of the Print Server.
Overview
The Print Server has 2 special features:
•
•
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).
Proprietary Internet Mail Printing system.
Internet Printing Protocol(IPP)
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a standards-based system to allow remote printing from a PC
to any accessible printer. Normally, the printer will be attached to a computer or other device
which functions as an IPP Server.
Client PCs need a compatible IPP Client program. Windows 2000 and XP include a suitable
IPP client. For other versions of Windows, a client program is supplied on the Print Server's
CD-ROM.
The Client must also know the IP Address or URL or the IPP Server.
IPP Server Configuration
The Print Server contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. No additional
configuration is necessary. However, the following requirements must be met.
•
The Print Server must have a valid IP Address. For printing via the Internet, the Print
Server's IP Address must be external (allocated by your ISP), rather than an IP Address on
your local LAN.
•
•
•
Any Router, Gateway or Firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must NOT block the
IPP protocol.
You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP Address of the IPP Server. To use a URL
rather than an IP Address, you need to register the domain name for the URL.
Unless clients are using Windows 2000 or XP, you must provide your clients with the
supplied IPP Client software. If it is not convenient to provide the CD-ROM, supply the
IPP_CLIENT.EXE file, located in the IPP folder.
Page 40
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
IPP Client Setup - Windows 98/ME
For these platforms, IPP Client software is supplied on the CD-ROM.
Also you can distribute the setup program (IPP_CLIENT.EXE) to users vial E-mail.
Installing from the CD-ROM
1. Insert the CD-ROM in your drive. If the program does not start automatically, run the
SETUP program in the top-level folder.
2. Follow the prompts until you reach the Select Installation screen, and select IPP Client.
3. At the next screen, select the Install IPP Client option.
4. Click Next, and step though the remaining screens to complete the installation.
Installing using IPP_CLIENT.EXE
1. Run this program to unzip the included files.
2. The IPP Setup program will then run.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
IPP Client Configuration
1. Run the "Add IPP Port" program entry created by the installation. A screen like the
following will be displayed.
Figure 33: IPP Port
2. If Internet access from your location is via a Proxy Server, check Access IPP Server via
Proxy Server, and enter details of your Proxy Server. (This will be the same as your
Browser configuration.)
3. Enter the IP Address or URL of the IPP Server.
4. Click Select Device Port to view the available ports on the IPP Server, and select the
appropriate port. A connection to the IPP Server will be established at this time.
5. Click Save to create the IPP port on your system. You will see a message confirming that
the port has been created, then the following dialog:

Figure 34: Select Printer for IPP Port
6. Either select an existing printer to use the new port, and click OK.
OR
Click the Add New Printer button to create a new printer to use the IPP port. This will start
the Add Printer wizard. Follow the prompts to complete the process. Ensure that the new
printer uses the IPP port.
Installation is now complete.
•
•
To create additional IPP Ports, repeat the entire procedure.
The Proxy Server and other options are set individually for each IPP Port.
Changing the IPP Port Settings
Windows Port Settings button:
1. Open the Printers folder (Start - Settings - Printers)
2. Right-click the IPP Printer, and select Properties.
3. Locate and click the Port Settings button (Details or Port tab, depending on your version
of Windows).
There are 2 settings - Retry Interval and Retry Count - which can be adjusted if you have
problems connecting to the IPP Server.
•
Retry Interval sets the time interval (in seconds) between connection attempts. Increase
this number if you have a poor connection, or the remote server is very busy.
•
Retry Count sets how many connection attempts will be made. Increase this number if
you have a poor connection, or the remote server is very busy.

IPP Client Setup - Windows 2000/XP
Windows 2000 and XP have their own IPP Client, and there is no need to install the supplied
IPP Client Software. To use the Windows IPP Client with the Print Server, follow this
procedure:
1. Start the Add Printer wizard.
2. Select Network Printer, and click "Next" to see the Locate your Printer screen, as shown
below.
Figure 35: Windows 2000 - Locate your Printer
3. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your Intranet, and enter the URL of the
IPP Server as follows, where ip_addressrepresents the IP Address of the IPP Server,
and 631 is the port number.
ip_address:631/ipp/P1
ip_address:631/ipp/P2
Port 1
Port 2 (if exists)
These entries are case sensitive. They must be
entered as shown, with "ipp" in lower case, and
P1 and P2 in UPPER case.
4. If the connection can be established, and the printer on that port is on-line, the following
dialog will be displayed.

5. Click "OK", and then select the printer manufacturer and model to match the printer
connected to the port on the IPP Server.
6. Click "Next", and complete the Wizard.
The IPP printer is now ready for use.
Using IPP Printers
The IPP Printer can be selected and used like any other Windows printer. If the IPP Server is
not on your network, your Internet connection needs to be active.
If using the supplied IPP Client software, you can use the Query IPP Printer program installed
with Add IPP Port to check the availability of the remote IPP Server.
An IPP Server may be unavailable for any of the following reasons:
•
•
It is powered off.
A printer problem has caused the IPP Server to cease responding, and a restart (reboot) is
required.
•
•
•
The Server's IP Address has changed.
The Internet connection for the IPP Server is down.
Network congestion causes the connection attempt to time out.
If using the supplied IPP Client software, there are 2 settings - Retry Interval and Retry Count -
which can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP Server.
Internet Mail Printing
The Internet Mail Printing System allows users to print data to your printer across the Internet.
Users send the Internet Print Server an E-Mail, with the print job normally sent as an
attachment to the E-Mail. The Print Server will retrieve the E-Mail and print it.
System Requirements
Mail Server
•
•
Accessibility. The Mail Server must be accessible by the intended clients or users.
Normally, this means a permanent connection to the Internet.
Protocols. The Mail Server must support the POP3 and SMTP protocols. The Internet
Printing System uses these protocols and the most common E-Mail formatting standards:
•
•
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
Base64 Encoding (for mail attachments)
Internet Print Server
•
•
TCIP/IP Protocol. The LAN must use the TCP/IP protocol.
Mail Server Access. The Print Server must be able to access the Mail Server using a
single IP address.
•

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes some problem situations, which may arise, and the solutions to
them.
Overview
If you encounter printing difficulties, please refer to the appropriate section.
If, after following the advice in these documents, the Print Server still does not function
properly, please contact your dealer for further advice.
Hardware & LAN Problems
Problem No. 1
Solution No. 1
Problem No. 2
Solution No. 2
All the Print Server's LEDs are off.
Check the power supply or power connection.
Print Server's status light continuously stays lit.
Reset the Print Server by unplugging the power supply and plugging it
back in.
Problem No. 3
The Print Server unit can not be found on the LAN, so
configuration is not possible.
Solution No. 3
If using 10/100BaseT, check the Hub:
•
The link LED for the port to which the Print Server is connected
should be ON.
•
If it is Off, there is a problem in the network cable.
If using TCP/IP:
•
Ensure that there are no routers between the Print Server and the
PC used for configuration.
•
Ensure that the PC used for configuration has the TCP/IP network
protocol installed. Test its network connection by seeing if you can
locate other LAN devices from the PC. (e.g. Use Network
Neighborhood and try to browse the network.)
Problem No. 4
I am using DHCP, and getting an IP Address conflict involving the
Print Server.
Solution No. 4
If the Print Server is left on, but the DHCP server is turned off, then the
Print Server will retain its IP Address without the DHCP Server being
aware of it. Simply reset the Print Server so it will obtain a new IP
Address.
This problem would also arise if you assigned static IP Address, which
is within the range used by the DHCP server. If so, use another address
which is NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.

AppleTalk (Macintosh)
Problem No. 1
Why do I get an incorrect printout?
Solution No. 1
Some possible reasons are:
•
•
You may have chosen Binary encoding to print the file. Try to use
ASCII encoding.
Some of the fonts, which are in your print file may not be
supported by the printer. Try selecting LaserWriter 7 instead of
LaserWriter 8.
Problem No. 2
Can't find the Print Server's name in the Chooser.
Solution No. 2
Try the following:
1. Make sure that AppleTalk is on (the button next to Active is

Appendix C
Unix Systems
Overview
Your Wireless Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all
common Unix systems.
You must configure both the Wireless Print Server itself and your Unix system, as described in
the following sections.
Print Server IP Address Configuration
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the Print Server
ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:
•
•
•
•
Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the
Print Server.
Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to the Print
Server, then restart the Print Server.
Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard or BiAdmin utility to allocate a valid
IP Address to the Print Server.
Add an entry to the arptable to associate the hardware address of the Print Server with
the desired IP address, as follows:
arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
Where:
IP_Addressis the IP Address you wish to assign to the Print Server.
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xxis the hardware address of the Print Server.
Example
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56
You should then assign this IP address to the Print Server using your Web Browser, as
described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.
Note:
The hardware address of the Print Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.
Other Print Server Configuration
The recommended method to configure the Print Server is to use the Web-based interface, as
described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.
•
•
Ensure that the TCP/IP settings are correct for you network.
The logical printers (e.g. L1) must be configured correctly to match your system.
Page 61
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
LPD Printing
LPD is a built-in printing protocol for most UNIX systems.
Configuration for the most common platforms is described below.
LPD on IBM AIX 4.15
Before proceeding, ensure that the Print Server has been assigned an IP Address. To setup your
AIX system for LPD printing, perform the following steps.
1. Add the Print Server to /etc/hosts.lpd, using the name you assigned to the Print Server.
2. Start the LPD daemon if it is not running, using the following command:
start src -s qdaemon
3. Start the system administration tool smit and select Print Spooling.
4. Create the required number of queues (one for each logical printer) by selecting:
Add a Print Queue
Remote (Printer attached to Remote Host)
Standard Processing
5. Use the following information:
Field
Entry
Name of queue to add
Use a single-word queue name, which
indicates which printer is attached.
Hostname for remote server
Print Server name as used in /etc/hosts.lpd.
Name of queue on remote
server
Logical printer number (e.g. L1) to service
this queue.
Type of print spooler on
remote server
Use default value. (AIX Version xxx)
6. Ensure that the logical printers are configured in the Print Server.
7. Print using the following command:
lp -d printer_queue file_name
Where
printer_queue is one of the entries used in Name of queue to add.
file_name is the file you wish to print.
Page 62
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
LPD on System V
Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server.
Keep the following points in mind:
The remote host name is the name of the Print Server.
The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers also
need to be configured on the Print Server itself.
If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD. The Print
Server’s LPD protocol meets BSD system standards.
In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the name of the Print Queue serviced by the
Print Server, and Spooler_directory is the name of the directory, which is used to spool the
print jobs.
Procedure
Action
Sample Command
/usr/lib/lpshut
