Reference Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch
3-2 Basic Installation and Configuration
Draft 1, 01 Feb 05
Before you begin, gather your existing network settings such as the TCP/IP addresses and
networking protocols in use.
Verify Printer and Network Readiness
Assure that the following are available:
• You have a working Ethernet network running TCP/IP with at least one Windows 98SE, Me,
2000, or XP PC.
• You have a printer with a USB port.
Note: The NETGEAR WGPS606 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch
WGPS606 does not support printers using parallel connectors. If your printer uses a parallel
connector, you should use one of the other NETGEAR Print Servers such as the Model PS101
Mini Print Server.
• You may also need to have your printer driver software handy. For most popular printers,
Windows already has the printer driver software available.

Note: Set up the printer you will use directly on a computer and verify that it is working
properly before connecting it to the WGPS606.
