Print Server; Network Printing From Windows; Installing The Ptp Driver - NETGEAR FWG114P Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to install and configure the print server in your ProSafe Wireless
802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P.

Network Printing from Windows

The FWG114P Wireless Firewall/Print Server supports two methods for printing from Windows:
• Print Port Driver
After installing the Print Port Driver, Windows users can print directly to the firewall. Print
jobs are spooled (queued) on each PC. The supplied Print Port Driver supports Windows 95/
98/ME, NT4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
• LPD/LPR Printing
If using Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows 2000 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.

Installing the PTP Driver

The following procedure is for all versions of Windows (95/98/ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP). The
Windows "Add Printer" screens will vary depending on your version or Windows, but the
procedure is the same:
Make sure that the printer is ON and connected to the firewall's printer port.

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start automatically,
2.
run SETUP.EXE in the root folder.
Scroll down to the Drivers section and click on FWG114P Print Server driver for Windows.
