You can connect a network printer directly to the Bridge or to a hub that
is connected to the Bridge. Used this way, the Bridge allows you to place
network printers in areas that are not wired for Ethernet.
1 Configure the network printer as you would for connecting it to the wired
LAN. For details on configuring the printer, see your printer documentation.
2 If necessary, configure the Bridge to associate with your access point.
3 Connect the Bridge to the power supply in its permanent location.
4 Connect the network printer directly to the Bridge as shown in Figure 11,
or to a hub that is connected to the Bridge as shown in "Connecting to a
Hub" on page 15.
