Figure 34: InterNet Printer Properties
2.
Select the new port - WAN (InterNet Printer) in the example - as the port for this
printer.
•
If you do not have the correct printer driver, or you wish to create another printer
using an existing driver, use the Windows
Add Printer
facility.
•
Using the Windows
Port Settings
or
Configure Port
facility will reveal the same
Configure Port
screen shown in
Figure 33: InterNet Printer Port
.
•
If you wish to print to multiple Internet Printers, use the Windows
Add Port
facility to add a new InterNet Printer port. Ensure that the correct data is entered in
each port, and that each port has a unique name.
Checking the Printer Driver
To make sure that the correct printer driver for the remote printer is installed on your
system, you can use the InterNet Printing Port to send an E Mail to the Internet Printer. The
procedure is as follows:
1.
Connect your default printer to the InterNet Printing Port.
2.
Check that “Reply Notification Mail” in the InterNet Printing Port is ON.
3.
From Notepad or another text editor, print a short message (e.g. “This is a test print”)
to the Internet Printer.
You will receive a reply E Mail containing the “Printer ID” which will identify the printer
attached to the LevelOne Printer Server. If this does not match the printer driver you are
using, install the correct printer driver.
