Q: How do I change the IP address of my print server?
A:
If you are using Windows XP you will have to disable the built in firewall. But for all operating
systems you have to disable any other form of firewall software such as Norton Internet Security,
Black Ice, and ZoneAlarm.
Step 1. Open up the PS-Utility and click on “Change IP Address”.

Q: How do I find the Port Name of the Print Server?

http://192.168.0.1 (the default IP address) in the Address bar and press [Enter] to enter the
Management screen of the Configuration Utility. Or use the IP address that you manually assigned
to the Print Server. Click on “System” and the Port Name is the PS-xxxxxx-P1, x being the actual
number listed in the Port Name box. Please write this information down on a piece of paper for
future reference.
Q: How do I make it Wireless?
A:Step 1. First you will need to know the SSID of your wireless router or access point, along with
the Channel. If you are using any type of wireless security like WEP, you will need to
know the key values.
Step 2. Launch your web browser (such as the Internet Explorer 6.0 used in this manual). Then,
type http://192.168.0.1 (the default IP address) in the Address bar and press [Enter] to

the PS-Utility and see if the utility finds the print server. If it does, then the unit is wireless
at this point. If not, plug the Ethernet cable back into the print server and confirm the
Wireless information.
Note: The Encryption method and key value is case sensitive and must match your router or
access Point.

TEW-P1PG F.A.Q.

Q: Does the TEW-P1PG support Macintosh operating systems?
A:
Q: What are the queue names of the ?TEW-P1PG
A:
Q: Why can’t I see my printer status information?
A:
Q: Why is my printer, printing a lot of garbage characters?
A:
Yes, but you must assign the print server an IP address from a Windows based operating system
first. Once that is done you can use LPR or LPD printing for the Macs and you can manage the
print server by entering its IP address into a web browser. Also the printer must be a postscript
printer.
The queue name will be PS-xxxxxx-P1. X being the actual number listed in the Port Name box. It
is case sensitive.
Print servers are IEEE1284 bi-directional compatible. This means that data can be sent and
received in both directions between the printer and the print server.
Toner status, paper level, etc., will not be communicated back to the PC. In order to get printer
status information, the proprietary printer driver has embedded code that needs to be passed on to
the print server, decoded, then interpreted by the print server. TRENDnet print servers do not
support embedded driver codes. TRENDnet print servers, whether in Gateways or Stand Alone,
are plain TCP/IP print servers.
Step1. Make sure that you have the latest print drivers for you printer.
Step 2. Launch your web browser (such as the Internet Explorer 6.0 used in this manual). Then,
type http://192.168.0.1 (the default IP address) in the Address bar and press [Enter] to
enter the Management screen of the Configuration Utility. Or use the IP address that you
manually assigned to the Print Server. Go to “Configuration” on the top menu bar and
“System” on the side bar. Change the “Speed” to Low and “Save”.
