Sharing
a
USB
printer
If
you
connect
a
compatible
USB
printer
to
one
of
your
Personal
Server’s
three
USB
2.0
ports,
you
can
use
it
from
any
computer
on
the
server’s
local
network.
Most
standard
USB
printers
are
compatible,
although
“bidirectional”
features
such
as
reporting
ink
levels
are
not
supported.
Some
multifunction
printers
(MFPs)
are
also
compatible,
but
for
printing
only—not
scanning
or
faxing.
In
general,
if
a
printer
is
compatible
with
other
USB
servers
using
“raw
socket”,
“port
9100”,
or
HP
JetDirect
‐
compatible
printing
technology,
it
should
work
with
your
Square
One
Personal
Server.
Only
one
printer
can
be
shared
through
your
Personal
Server
at
a
time.
Adding
a
shared
printer
to
your
computer
Before
you
can
use
a
printer
connected
to
your
Personal
Server,
you
must
first
register
or
“add”
the
printer
to
your
computer.
Part
of
this
process
is
installing
the
correct
printer
driver
on
your
computer,
just
as
you
would
for
a
printer
that
was
directly
attached
to
your
computer.
You
do
not
need
to
install
a
driver
on
the
Personal
Server.
Before
adding
a
shared
printer,
please
make
sure
either
that
its
driver
has
already
been
installed
on
your
computer,
or
that
you
have
the
driver
ready
on
CD
‐
ROM
or
other
media.
Different
ways
to
add
a
shared
printer
to
your
computer
In
Windows
XP,
there
are
two
ways
to
add
a
shared
printer
to
your
computer:
the
network
printer
method
and
the
TCP/IP
port
method
.
Instructions
for
both
methods
are
given
below.
The
network
printer
method
is
more
intuitive
and
requires
fewer
steps,
but
this
method
is
not
recommended
because
a
printer
added
this
way
is
often
slow
in
use.
This
is
because,
whenever
you
use
the
command,
Windows
must
search
for
the
shared
printer
and
determine
its
status.
The
TCP/IP
port
method,
while
it
takes
a
little
longer
to
add
a
printer,
does
not
result
in
such
delays
when
you
use
the
printer.
If
you
use
a
non
‐
Windows
operating
system,
please
refer
to
your
operating
system’s
documentation
for
instructions
on
adding
a
network
printer.
