Windows XP/2000 USB Printer Installation

A USB printer can be connected to the ADSL2+ 4-Port Router and used as a network printer if you are using an operating system that supports printing to an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)-based printer. Windows XP and 2000 have built-in support for this function.

Note: The USB print server does not support the scanning or faxing features on multi-function printers.

Step One: Local Printer Installation

Before configuring your printer on the print server, it is important to install it on your computer using the drivers provided by the printer manufacturer.
