USB Print Server FAQs

Q: Does the Print Server support multifunction printers (i.e.,
those that fax, copy, and scan)?
A:
While it may be possible to print to your multifunction printer using
the Print Server, the scanning functions, as well as any other bidirectional
functions, will not work.
Q: Will I still be able to get messages from the printer such as
low paper, low toner, etc., when using the Print Server?
A:
No. The print server is not bidirectional. Messages from the printer cannot
be displayed on the PC.
Q: Why do I have to install the printer’s drivers and software on
my PC first?
A:
For the PC to be able to print to the networked printer (printer on the
print server), the printer’s software and drivers must be installed on the
PC. Every manufacturer ships its printer with a driver and, usually, printing
software. Be sure that you have installed the printer drivers and software on
each PC from which you plan to print. In some cases, while installing the
drivers and software for your printer, you may be required to connect the
PC directly to the printer in order to complete the installation. This varies
according to manufacturer.
