Product Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Edimax Combo Print Server. This Print Server allows you to
share a normal USB printer or GDI/Host-based USB printer to the network users.
GDI printer is a
printer that has built-in support for Windows Graphical Device Interface
(GDI)
, so it is no need to convert the output from Windows to another format such as
PostScript or PCL language. GDI printers are sometimes called host-based printers
because they rely on the host
computer to rasterize pages. Because of that, almost
none of Print Servers in the market can support GDI printer network sharing. This GDI
Print Server implements a special technology, which allows it to communicate with the
GDI printer as if it is connected directly to your computer. With this feature, the GDI
printer becomes a shared device and you don’t need to worry about the compatibility
with the print server anymore.
The Print Server supports GDI printer in the most popular operating systems: Windows
2000 SP4 above and XP SP1 above. Not only be a GDI Print Server, it can also act as a
traditional Print Server. This Print Server supports TCP/IP network protocol and LPR,
RAW and IPP printing protocols. It is compatible with a large number of normal printers
in the various common network operating systems including Windows
98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003, Unix, Linux and MAC OS 9.x above.
The Combo Print Server is the best solution for users to share GDI USB printer or
normal USB printer conveniently and easily. It offers the most flexible and manageable
printing sharing for GDI printer or normal printer on your Local Area Network at an
extremely low cost and with an absolutely minimal setup and maintenance required.
