Installing a Parallel Printer
En
First, connect your parallel printer to the DockStation
using
™
IEEE 1284-compliant cables (Belkin F2A046-XX where "XX" is
the length in feet).
Install your printer's drivers using the software provided by your
printer manufacturer. Or you can download the latest software
from the printer manufacturer's web site. When the software
prompts you for the port name, select "LPTUSB1".
If you are not prompted for the port name, open the "Printers"
folder by clicking on "Start", then "Settings". Right-click on
your printer icon, and choose "Properties". Click on the
"Details" tab. Click on the drop-down menu for "Print to the
following port", and change it to "LPTUSB1". Click on "Apply":
You're done! You can now print to your printer from any
Windows
application.
