Print Server Mini-300PU Configuration and Printer Installation on Windows 8

First prepare all your hardware is already in place and already connected.

In this picture we can see that my PC and Mini-300PU are connected to switch via UTP cable, and all the printers already connected to Mini-300PU via USB cable. Don't forget to turn on all the device. :-)

1. Assign IP address on Mini-300PU
Make sure you already assign IP address on your print server Mini-300PU.
You can configure static or dynamic IP address using PSAdmin application, this apps usually comes with the CD when you buy Mini-300PU, or you can download it here.

Open PSAdmin check connected printer to Mini-300PU and configure IP address
