1. Introduction to the HWPS12UG

1.1 Product Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Hawking’s
HWPS12UG 2 USB + 1 Parallel Port Wireless G
Print Server. The Hawking HWPS12UG is a powerful
and convenient network printing solution that will
connect your USB and parallel printer(s) to a
wireless 802.11b or 802.11g network. The
HWPS12UG can connect with a 802.11b or 802.11g
wireless network and has a 10/100Mbps auto-sensing
port, allowing you to attach it to a 10Base-T or
100Base-TX network without the need for a
dedicated PC print server. The HWPS12UG also
supports multiple servers and multiple protocols,
providing you with the capability to print from
anywhere, from any computer and from any
application.
The HWPS12UG print server supports IPX, TCP/IP,
and AppleTalk protocols. It also supports the most
common network operating systems and protocols
including Windows 95/98/Me, Peer-to-Peer Printing,
Windows NT/2000/XP, NetWare, Unix/Linux, MAC
OS X, etc.
With the HWPS12UG Installation Wizard for
Windows, you can easily and instantly adjust the
HWPS12UG’s settings for your printing environment
and start enjoying the fantastic features provided by
this print server.
In the following chapters, we will introduce in detail
the printing features, installation methods, and

system configuration for different network
environments.
If you would like to set up and install print server
quickly, please refer to the Quick Installation Guide
that comes along with this print server.

1.3 Network Printing Architecture
This section illustrates how a print server functions
over a network environment. Before you install and
use the HWPS12UG print server, it is strongly
suggested that you read this section completely and
select only the chapters that pertain to your specific
operating system.
Below is a diagram of a typical network with a print
server installed. There is a main server, several
client computers, print server, along with an optional
network server. Below are the three components of
this diagram:

Because the HWPS12UG print server supports IPX,
TCP/IP, and AppleTalk protocols, any networked
computer can print directly through the print server
from any of the installed protocols.

The HWPS12UG provides a PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) driver and utilities for Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP users. The PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) supports the TCP/IP protocol.
In the client installation procedure, after the PTPP
(Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver is installed in
Windows, the client or administrator system will
automatically (manual configuration is also allowed)
search through all of the print servers on your
network and add your selected print servers’ printing

port to your Windows printing port availability list.

UNIX / Linux
UNIX (includes HP/UX, SCO Unix, SunOS, Solaris,
Unixware DECUnix, IBM AIX and others) and Linux
use the system-standard LPR to print to your
HWPS12U.
MAC OS
The MAC OS can use the system-standard AppleTalk
network to print through your HWPS12UG.

1.3.3 Network Printing Functions for a Network Server
Windows NT Server
NetWare Server
Windows 98
Windows NT

Windows 2000
Unix Print Server
Network Server
Common network servers use the following operating
systems:
Windows NT/2000
The HWPS12UG provides a PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) driver with utilities for Windows NT and
Windows 2000. After PTPP is installed, the server
can directly print to the HWPS12UG print server.
Adding this printing function into your Windows
NT/2000 Server allows for print queuing, user
authority management, and many other advanced
features.
NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x
In a NetWare environment, the HWPS12UG offers
various printing modes including print queue, remote
printer, etc.

1.4 Network Printing Environment
Common network printing environments use the
following:
Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
The client’s PPTP driver will use the TCP/IP
protocol to print to the print server.
Windows NT/2000 Network
The network printing function will become available
after the PTPP driver is installed into Windows
NT/2000. Adding this printing function for your
Windows NT/2000 Server enables print queuing, user
authority management, and many other advanced
features.

2. Hardware Installation
1. Unpack the HWPS12UG’s packaging and check
all the items listed in section 1.2.
2. Connect the HWPS12UG to the printer you want
to share on your network.
3. Connect the power adapter to the print server.

NOTE1 : You MUST use the power adapter shipped with the HWPS12UG
print server, do NOT use any other power adapter from any other
sources.
NOTE2: To prevent any compatibility problems between the HWPS12UG
and other printers, it is recommend that you power on the print
server before the printer.
