NetGear Print Server Manual
The printer ports not existing on the print server are shadowed or grayed out.
On the popup window, you can check the connection status of the print server such as on-line, off-line,
paper jam, and out-of-paper. Also on display is the printing information indicating if the print server is
sending data to the printer or if the printer is idling. At the bottom of the screen are four buttons as
described below.
