•  

To print a test page or configure additional printer 

settings, right click on the

 

lp

 

printer icon and select 

Properties

.  This will open the printer’s driver properties 

page.

•  

Press the 

Print Test Page

 button to print a test page.  You 

can also browse through the available settings for the 
printer.  Please refer to the printer’s documentation for 
more information on changing the printer’s settings.

  Notes:

  The printer installation process can be done on 

any machine on your network.  Multiple machines may 
print to the printer at the same time.  Repeat this process 
on all computers that require access to the printer.

  Multifuntion printers are not officially supported on the 

LinkStation’s print server.  Most multifuntion printers 
may be configured to print over the network, and faxing 
functions will work, but scanning functions usually will 
not work over the network.
