Introduction
The D-Link DPR-1040 Print Server is an Ethernet/USB print server that connects to
your Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or USB network anywhere you wish to locate printer
services. The DPR-1040 manages the flow of print files from workstations or file
servers to connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a file
server or a PC acting as a print server can. With one IEEE1284 parallel port and two
USB 2.0 ports, DPR-1040 can connect to almost any make and model printer on the
market today.
The DPR-1040 includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based
networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to
ensure seamless connection to major networking Operating Systems.
The DPR-1040 has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.
The DPR-1040 improves network printing services in the following ways:
 The DPR-1040 picks up the workload of managing print file traffic to its
connected
printers. This provides workload relief to your file servers, and allows the file servers
full capacity to be used for file access or other direct services to network users. On
peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without
increasing the load of another workstation or server.
 Because the DPR-1040’s very portable and inexpensive compared to a
PC-based
print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers through the network,
