Connecting a Printer
You can connect a printer to the USB port on the LinkStation.
Notes:
•
Only one USB printer can be connected to the LinkStation.
•
Bidirectional communication is not supported i.e., remaining ink quantities and other printer status
information is not supported.
•
If a multifunctional printer is connected, only the printer function can be used. Other functions such as
scanning will not be available. If you need bidirectional communication or multifunction features such as
scanning to work, connect the printer with USB device server instead.
•
The print server does not support Mac OS.
•
Don't disable the SMB protocol while the print server is enabled. If you do, you will need to enable SMB again
and reconfigure the print server from scratch.
