Frequently Asked Questions - PS-1206P Edimax

How do I set up the Edimax PS-1206P print server?

Connect the print server to your network via Ethernet and to the printer via the parallel cable. Power on the device. Insert the included CD and run the PS Utility to assign an IP address. Alternatively, use the web interface after finding the IP via DHCP. Then install the printer driver on your computer and select the network port.

What should I do if my computer cannot find the PS-1206P on the network?

Ensure the print server is powered on and the Ethernet link LED is lit. Check that your computer is on the same subnet. Use the PS Utility or a network scanner to discover the device. If still not found, try resetting the print server to factory defaults by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds.

How do I assign a static IP address to the PS-1206P?

Run the PS Utility from the CD, select the device, and choose 'Assign IP Address'. Enter a static IP, subnet mask, and gateway. Alternatively, access the web interface using the current IP and configure the network settings under 'TCP/IP'.

Can the PS-1206P work with modern operating systems like Windows 10 or macOS?

Yes, but you may need to download the latest drivers from Edimax's support website. For Windows 10, use the Standard TCP/IP Port or LPR port instead of the utility. For macOS, enable LPD/LPR printing and add the printer via IP.

How do I reset the Edimax PS-1206P to factory defaults?

Locate the small reset button on the device (often near the power connector). Use a paperclip to press and hold the button for about 10 seconds until the Status LED blinks rapidly. Release and wait for the device to reboot with default settings.

Why is my print job stuck or not printing?

Check that the printer is online and has paper/toner. Verify the print server's Status LED is steady (not error). Clear the print queue on your computer and restart the Spooler service. If the issue persists, reset the print server and reconfigure.

How can I update the firmware on the PS-1206P?

Download the latest firmware from Edimax's support page. Access the web interface of the print server, go to Administration > Firmware Upgrade, select the file, and start the upgrade. Do not power off during the process.

What does the Error LED mean?

The Error LED indicates a problem with the printer connection or internal fault. If steady, check the parallel cable and printer power. If blinking, it may indicate a network configuration error. Refer to the manual for LED patterns.

Can I connect multiple printers to one PS-1206P?

No, the PS-1206P has only one parallel port and supports a single printer at a time. For multiple printers, consider a print server with multiple ports or use a USB hub with a compatible model.

Is the PS-1206P compatible with wireless networks?

No, the PS-1206P is a wired-only print server with a 10/100 Ethernet port. To use wirelessly, connect it to a wireless bridge or access point.

If your network has already installed a working print server and your Windows NT/2000/2003 server has not yet installed the PTPP driver, please install the client software. Refer to section 3.4 and 3.5 for installation instructions.

Step2.

Please add/configure the Peer-to-Peer Printing of the Windows NT/2000/2003 network printer and verify that you can print from Windows NT/2000/2003 to the print server by the installed PTPP driver.

Step3.

Share the above server's printer to the network by performing the standard Windows printer sharing process.

5. NetWare Network

5.1 System Architecture

We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into the print server itself, thus allowing one or more printers attached by a print server to be connected to the network.

We have developed the print server to support NetWare print server.

Embedded print server, which emulates the “queue management functionality” of NetWare print server,

PSERVER program running on the NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a workstation, the job is routed to a NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a print queue and then the print server gets the print job from the queue to printers.

graph TD
    A["Windows 98"] --> B["Print Queuc"]
    C["Windows 2000"] --> D["Netware Server"]
    D --> E["Print Server"]
    B --> E

Compare with NetWare printing functionality, the advantages of embedding the NetWare network printing functionality in the print server include:

Installation is easier and quicker.

Network management is easier.

Printing performance is enhanced.

Relieve NetWare file server's burden.

Relieve the need of a workstation running the remote printer utility.

Improve productivity by locating the printer near the workgroup.

Each print server should log into a NetWare server before servicing the print jobs. Each print server will occupy a user account with which it can log into the NetWare server.

5.2 NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x Installation & Setup

Once your print server is connected to your Ethernet network, you can set it up for use with your networking software.

6. UNIX System Network

6.1 Introduction

The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD protocol originated with Unix release is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most versions of Unix.

This chapter explains how to configure the print server for TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to allow printing to the print server. The configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.

To configure the print server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:

1. Enable Print Server's TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up Print Server's IP address.
3. Verify Print Server's IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.

In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.

6.2 Enable Print Server's TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the print server is with TCP/IP support enabled. Anyway, you can configure the print server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program.

6.3 Setup Print Server's IP Address

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one of the following methods:

1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

6.3.1 DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. This manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the print server.

6.3.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that is accessible by the print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the print server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the print server. If you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the following steps to add address entries,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server's IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.12

pserver

1. Add an entry to the host's /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:

hostname:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\

:ip=print_server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of a print server, the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a print server, which is the Node ID located on the print server. The ha tag

must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the print server.

For example, a print server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet

address is 0000B4010101),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

PS010101:\

:ht=1 :\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

6.4 Verify Print Server's IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-address

6.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to your network remote print server varies between different varieties of Unix. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the print server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the print server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure your Unix host for printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server's IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186

pserver

1. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

1. Add an entry to the host's /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:

printer-name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=203.66.191.186:\
:rp=lpt1:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/p serverd:\
:mx#0: 

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).

The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the print server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.

The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step.

The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the printer port.

The print server should now be available for printing from your Unix host.

7. Configuration Utility

9. IPP Printing

9.1 Introduction

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Printing provides a convenient way of remote printing service by TCP/IP. The print server can support IPP printing by default. It is needless to do any setting. Any PC that can support IPP printing, for example Windows 2000/XP, can directly use the print server by IP. By using the IPP printing, you can share the printer to all the PC's that can access the print server by IP. You can even share your printer to Internet users.
