Printer Setup for Windows 

XRT-711A provides printing support for 2 methods for printing from Windows: 

 

Print Port Driver.

  After installing the Print Port Driver, Windows users can print directly 

to the Broadband Router. Print jobs are spooled (queued) on each PC. 
The supplied Print Port Driver supports Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows NT4.0,  
Windows 2000 and Windows XP. 

 

LPD/LPR Printing.

  If using Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows 2000 Server, 

LPD/LPR printing can be used. No software needs to be installed on either the Windows 
Server or each client PC. Print jobs will be spooled (queued) on the Windows Server, and 
can be managed using the standard Windows Server tools. 

Print Port Driver Setup 

The following procedure is for all versions of Windows (95/98/ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP). The 
Windows "Add Printer" screens will vary depending on your version or Windows, but the 
procedure is the same: 

1.

 

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start 
automatically, run SETUP.EXE in the root folder. 

2.

 

At the 

Select Components

 screen, select the 

Print Port Driver

 option.  

3.

 

Follow the prompts to complete the installation. 

4.

 

The 

Print Port Setup

 will then run, and the following screen will be displayed. 

 

Figure 20: Print Port Setup 

5.

 

Select the desired device and port, and then click the "Add" button.
