Installing the Printer Port for Network Printers

Instructions for Setting up a Printer on the PC

Once you have installed the printer port you still cannot start printing. The printer port
is nothing more than an additional interface on your PC, comparable with the USB port.
It means that any printer you install on this port is also regarded as a local printer even
though it is located in the network and possibly remote from you.
You still need to connect and configure the printer to this port.
ì
Connect the printer to the USB interface on your Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl.
The printer is installed in the same way as any other printer:
ì
Go to Start – Settings – Printers and click Add Printer.
ì
In the window that opens, click Next.
ì
Proceed as instructed by the printer installation wizard. Please note:
In the window in which you are prompted to specify the location of the printer, you
should select Local printer (usually the default setting).
ì
Then click Next.
ì
Continue to install the printer. Select your printer and click Next.
ì
When the window appears in which you are prompted to enter the type of connec-
tion, double click the port name Gigaset_printerport.
ì
Then continue to install the printer and finish the installation.
Note:
The Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl's printer server does not work bidirectionally. It does not
evaluate any of the printer's response messages. For this reason please make sure that
your printer is also configured unidirectionally.
