Printserver
* default name: SCB938048 * default node address: 00C002SCB938048 * IP address: 192.168.1.40
Installing
start up
1. Start up Firefox or whatever web browser you use and in the address bar, type "localhost:631" and hit enter.
model number
2. It will now ask for the name of the printer. It is best to put the printers model number as the name. The first line will not allow spaces. If you want to place a space, use either _ or -. When you are finished naming your printer, click Continue.
LPR /LPD
3. When you get to Device for "Name of your printer" page, select "LPD/LPR Host or Printer" and click Continue.
URI
4.Pay close attention. Under the Device URI field, type in "socket://Printservers IP Address:Port" where 4010 is port one and 4020 is port two.
Make Name
5. It will now ask you, what brand the printer is. Search through the list to find yours. Select it and click, Add Printer.
Model
6. Now you select the driver that closest matches your printer and click Add Printer.
Password
7. I hope you remembered your user password because your going to need it for the last step. Type in your username and password and click OK.
Complete
8. Now everything should work. I would try printing first just to try it. If you made a mistake, no harm done. Just delete the printer and start again
FYI
The main problem was determining the IP address of the device, due to interrupt conflicts with an ethernet card.
I used tcp dump to see all the traffic coming in on the card, and just kept looking for packets.
