Introduction

The D-Link DP-G310 Print Server is an 802.11g wireless USB 2.0 high-speed
Print Server that can also connect to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. Now
you can locate USB printer services virtually anywhere in your home or office.
The DP-G310 manages the flow of print files from workstations or file servers to
connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a file server
on a PC. With one USB 2.0 port, the DP-G310 can connect to almost any printer
with a USB port.
The DP-G310 includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based
networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to
ensure seamless connection to major networking operating systems.
The DP-G310 has a built in Web-based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-G310 also
supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-G310 improves network printing services in the following ways:
The DP-G310 delegates print jobs to the connected USB printer. This
provides workload relief to your file servers and allows the file servers' full
capacity to be used for file access or other direct services to network
users. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the
Print Server without increasing the load of another workstation or server.
The DP-G310's USB 2.0 port can transmit data to high-speed
laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port.
Because the DP-G310 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a
PC-based print server, and the Print Server connects to your file servers
through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum
convenience to users.
