Installing a USB Printer in a Linux Environment
A USB printer can be connected to the 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. Linux provides support
using the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS).
Note: The router does not support the Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Remote (LPD/LPR)
protocol. IPP must be installed as part of your CUPS installation.
Step One: Local Printer Installation
Note: The CUPS daemon must be running before you perform these steps.
Note: If the printer has already been installed on every computer that will use it once it is on the
network, skip to Step Two: Get Your Print Server
Before connecting your printer to the print server, it is important to install the drivers provided by the
printer manufacturer on each computer that will use the printer.
1. Plug your USB printer into one of the USB ports on your computer.
2. Install the printer by following the installation instructions included with your printer.
