Introduction Introduction D-Link’s DPR-2000 USB Multifunction Print Server provides four USB printer ports for connection to four USB printers and/or multifunction equipment. It allows you to share these connected devices with a group of users on a wired Ethernet network as well as an IEEE 802.11 wireless network. The DPR-2000 is designed primarily for office use, where a cluster of printers and/or multifunction equipment is deployed in a close proximity, such as in an equipment room.
Introduction provides relief for your PC file servers and allows them to be used to their full capacity for file access or other network services. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without increasing the load of another workstation or server. The DPR-2000 Print Server is portable and cheap compared to a PC-based print server. This means you’re able to deploy the DPR-2000 in locations that offer maximum convenience to users.
Introduction NetBEUI Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server AppleTalk Mac OS EtherTalk The PS software, PS Link and PS Wizard allow further configuration of the DPR-2000: ¾ PS-Link -Use this to enable your computers to use your printers’ print/scan/fax/copy functions and GDI printing. PS-Link helps you to install your printers’ manufacturer drivers without creating any physical USB connection from your printers to your computers.
External Features External Features The DPR-2000’s USB printer ports are located on the rear panel of this Print Server and are configurable using the web configurator. The default IP address of the DPR-2000 is automatically acquired from a DHCP server on the network. If a DHCP server cannot be found, use the default IP address for the DPR-2000, which is 192.168.0.10. NOTE: Your PC’s IP Address must be in the same subnet as the Print Server’s IP Address for the two devices to communicate.
External Features 4 USB Printer Ports Reset Button Ethernet LAN Port Power Socket USB Printer Ports (1 to 4) Each of the four USB 2.0 printer ports can be connected to a USB printer or USB multifunction printer. Ethernet LAN Port This port connects to an Ethernet LAN port of a switch or a router, using a Cat 5 Ethernet cable. This port supports 10/100Mbps network speeds and the NWay protocol, allowing the Print Server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network.
External Features LED Indicators All LED indicators are on the top side of the Print Server. Power A steady blue light confirms that the Print Server is turned ON. USB 1 to 4 A steady blue light for each of the four USB ports indicates the printer connected to a particular USB port is online and successfully connected to the Print Server. This light will also blink to indicate that data is being transferred between the Print Server and connected printer.
External Features Wireless LAN Link/Act A steady blue light confirms that the Print Server has a wireless connection to your wireless network. This light will also blink when the Print Server is receiving or transmitting wireless data on the network. All LED indicators described above are also used during the Print Server’s Power-ON Self Test to indicate any hardware failures.
Setting up the DPR-2000 Setting up the DPR-2000 Installing the Print Server WARNING: - Configuration problems may result if you power ON the Print Server without first establishing its network connection. - Use power adapter supplied with this Print Server to connect to an AC source. Using a power adapter with an incorrect power rating will damage the Print Server and void its warranty. - Connect only USB printers or USB multifunction equipment to the USB ports of the Print Server.
Setting up the DPR-2000 Check your D-Link web site for the lasted updated list. This section will describe the installation steps for a wired Ethernet connection. Follow the steps below to avoid any complications during the hardware installation: 1. Confirm that all the printers that you will connect to the DPR-2000 are operating correctly. 2. When you have confirmed that the printers are operating correctly, switch their power OFF. 3. Confirm that your network is operating normally. 4. Use a Cat.
Setting up the DPR-2000 Immediately after power-up, all LEDs should illuminate steadily for several seconds. Then the USB LEDs should turn OFF simultaneously. Irregularity of any of the LEDs during these LED tests may mean there is a problem with the LEDs themselves. The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A normal (no fault) result is signaled by simultaneous flashing of the LEDs three times, followed by a quiescent state with all LEDs dark.

Setting up Printing in Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.9) Unix/Linux Printing Printing Text Files From Unix Text files on Unix systems contain lines that end with “newline” characters, as opposed to MS-DOS and Windows-related operating systems that end with a carriage return followed by a linefeed. Most printers require a carriage return/linefeed pair at the end of each line, making it necessary for some translation to be done before Unix text files can be printed on most printers.
Setting up Printing in Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.9) Printing from BSD Unix Versions For “flavors” of the Unix operating system derived from or related to the BSD releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use the following procedure to enable users to print to a printer connected to your D-LINK network print server: 1. Log in as the superuser (root). 2. Add an entry for the print server in the host’s /etc/hosts file, giving a hostname for the print server’s IP address.
Setting up Printing in Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.9) chown bin.daemon /var/spool/hp5l chmod 775 /var/spool/hp5l 5. Add an entry for the printer to /etc/printcap, similar to the following: hp5l:\ :lp=:sd=/var/spool/hp5l :mx#0:\ :rm=ps-142634:rp=ps-142634-p1: The meaning of each of the entries is described below. The directory path in the sd spool directory entry should match the directory name you created above. If your entry requires more than one line you can escape the newline with a backslash. 6.
Setting up Printing in Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.9) ◆ sd=dir The location of the printer’s local spool directory. ◆ mx#blocks The limit for print job files in the local spool directory; 0 means no limit. ◆ rm=address The host where the remote printer is located, in this case the D-Link print server. ◆ rp=printer The name of the printer on the remote host. For the D-Link print server, the port name should be used. Note: this entry is case-sensitive.
Setting up Printing in Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.9) Printing From SCO Unix System V/386 To allow printing to a printer attached to your D-LINK network print server from a SCO Unix System V/386 host. 1. Login as the superuser (root). 2. Add an entry for the print server in the host’s /etc/hosts file, giving a hostname for the print server’s IP address. A line in /etc/hosts contains an IP address and one or more aliases for the host. For example: 202.39.74.40 ps-142634 ps-142634.dlink.com.
