How to configure TL-PS310U to print by


queue
Why need to set up printing by queue

Generally, to use the print server TL-PS310U, the users need to run a utility named Launch
MFP and Storage Server.exe to search the print server then connect to the printer or other USB
devices. The utility seems very easy to use, but it has a very inconvenient shortcoming: it does
NOT allow the users print/scan/copy simultaneously, that means once a user is connected to the
print server by the utility, the other users can't use the print server unless the first user finished
his/her job and release the print server from the utility.

The limitation is caused by the Virtual USB technology, which supplies support for MFP and
general USB devices. To fix the problem mentioned above, we can choose another way to
configure TL-PS310U to print by queue (also called LPR print). In this way, the users don’t need
wait and print one by one, the printer would print by queue if multiple users were submitting the
print jobs.

Before we configuring the TL-PS310U for print-by-queue function, PLEASE NOTE:

(1) In this mode, only print function of MFP (Multi Function perherial) is available. For
example, if user A wants to use MFP’s other functions, such as scan function, he/she has to run
the utility and connect it to the MFP. While the MFP(scanner) is working, the other users can’t
print by queue unless the user A finished the scan job and released the MFP from the utility, by
when   the print-by-queue function is available again for all users.

(2 ) If the user just need to connect only one common printer to TL-PS310U, the users can set the
print server by following the methods below and abandon the utility.
(3) If a printer and other USB devices are connected to T L-PS310U at the same time, the users
has to run the utility to access these USB devices, and o nly one user can use them one time,
which does not affect printing by queue.

In a word, the following print-by-queue settings is just for the print function of the printers, the
other functions of MFP and other USB devices both depend on the utility to connect and release.

To configure TL-PS310U to make printer “print-by-queue”, there are two available


methods.

Method 1 (recommended) : The software Network Printer Wizard is offered to help users
automatically configure the printer server. Please follow the step wizard of the software to finish
all the settings.Click here   to download the software;

Method 2 ： This a manual way for the advanced user or the user can’t download the software
in the method 1 . What a user needs to do is to install the printer’s driver and add a standard
TCP/IP port for the printer. In fact, the setup s ettings are just the same as any general print
server (such as TP-LINK TL-PS110U/WPS510U) which supports LPR as well.

For the Method 2, if necessary, please refer to the settings below (The following settings are for
Windows XP, but they are quite similar in Windows Vista):

Step 1 Install the utility Launch MFP and Storage Server.exe from CD, and change the printer
server’s IP to suit with your network. Then please right click the printer to connect to the print
server and click Details.

 
 

Step 2 Please write down the Queue Name and release the printer then exit the program.

 
 

Step 3 Please open the start menu and click Printers and Faxes (it is also can be found in
Control Panel).

 
 

Step 4  

If you have installed the printer and driver, please go to Step 5;

If you havn´t installed the printer and driver, please skip to Step 6;

Step 5 Right click the printer icon and select Properties -> Ports -> Add Port -> select
Standard TCP/IP Port and click New Port button. Then please go to Step 8 to continue your
settings.

 
 

Step 6 Click Add a Printer

 
 

Then Add a local printer.

 
 

Step 7 Create standard TCP/IP port for printer.

 
 

Step 8  Enter the IP address of print server.

 
 

Step 9 Please select LPR protocol and type into the queue name of the printer you have gotten
from Step 2.
 

Step 10 Finish the wizard of adding standard TCP/IP printer port.    

 
 

Step 11  If Windows don’t list your printer model here, please click Have Disk button and install
the driver from CD or the driver file you have saved on your hard disk.

 
 

Step 1 2 Please go through the following settings to finish the whole installation.

 
 
 

Step 13 Now the printer driver has been installed on your computer, and a standard TCP/IP port
for LPR is created. You can check the ports as follow:

 
 

Now you can set the printer as the default printer and use the print function as usual.
