How to Set up a Hawking Wireless Print Server

A Hawking Wireless Print Server allows users to print wirelessly. By attaching the printer to the print server, your LAN printer can become wireless. This is the perfect setup for an environment with multiple users. Instead of needing a printer for each computer or running wires through an office or house, you can create a wireless print environment. With a Hawking Wireless Print Server, you are provided with the software, materials, and even troubleshooting information needed to quickly install your print server.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Insert the installation disk that comes with the print server. Do not connect any hardware until you are told to do so. This software will allow you to manage your printer online.

2. Plug in the print server to determine the server is functioning and connect it to the desired printer when prompted by the installation disk.

3. Use the software to recognize the printer and designate an IP address. This can be automatically or manually configured depending on your network.

4. Finish the installation wizard.

5. Print a test page to test functionality.

Tips & Warnings

• Know the IP address, name, and MAC address of the desired printer in advance. This is especially useful if there are multiple printers on your network.
• Do not assign an IP address to your printer that is already in use by another device.
