Additional Info on Host-based Printers
What printers are compatible with the D-Link gateway/print servers like the DP-101, DP-300, DI-704P, DI-713P, DI-714P, etc?
If you are using a multi-function printer, you may not be able to use functions other than printing.
Certain printers may not work with print servers because they do not have command interpreters built in to the printer. Such printers are designed to operate only when connected directly to a computer and will not be able to function on a network.
Please check with your printer manufacturer if your printer is not a host-based printer and if can be used with a print server on a network.
More info from Hewlett-Packard:
Several kinds of printers are not supported on a network. These include host-based (sometimes referred to as GDI printers), and PPA printers. There are also printers designed for home use that are not intended for support on a traditional network...
Host-based (sometimes referred to as GDI printers). A printer that relies on the computer's processor to rasterize the print job. Most host-based printers use the GDI interface built into Windows (hence the "GDI printer" term), so there is no need to convert the data to PostScript, PCL, or other printer language.
Some HP Deskjet printers are PPA (Printing Performance Architecture) printers. With this new printing system, the printer handles only basic printer functions while the printer software on the computer handles the formatting. All formatting, such as color matching and correction, half-toning, edge enhancement, tone correction, and ink management, are handled by the software driver.
Furthermore, some of the printers listed below may work on a network, but only when they are connected to the parallel port of a Windows computer that has the correct printer driver installed and printer sharing properly configured. Contact the support group for you specific printer for details.
