CHAPTER 3
Adding a Printer on Your
Computer
To use a printer, you need to install the printer driver and set up the printer on your computer.
In Windows, you can also use the ZyXEL utility to set up a printer and/or associate an existing
printer driver with the NPS-520. See your Quick Start Guide for more information.
" You must have a printer with a driver and you need to know the IP address of
the NPS-520.
3.1 Printing Protocol
Most printers or printing software allow sending or receiving jobs over an Intranet or the
Internet. The NPS-520 supports the following printing protocols:
• LPR (Line Printer Remote)
•RAW
• IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
If you want to use a printer on your local network, use LPR or RAW. If you want to use a
printer on a remote network over the Internet, use IPP.
3.1.1 LPR
LPR (Line Printer Remote) is a cross-platform printing protocol that runs on a client computer
and uses TCP/IP to establish connections between printers and computers on a network. It
sends print jobs to a print server that is running LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol.
3.1.2 RAW
This is the data type for print job using languages, such as PCL or PortScript. The RAW
protocol is the default printing protocol for most printer. The RAW-formatted job is sent to a
print server on TCP port 9100 (standard).
To use RAW in Windows 98 SE or Windows Me, you need to install an additional software to
add a network port for your print server.
