The PM1115P2 Ethernet to Parallel Network Print Server lets you convert a standard parallel printer into a shared network printer over a 10/100Mbps network. Providing network printing access allows you to share a single printer among multiple network connected computers, while also avoiding the added costs and inconveniences of purchasing printers for each workstation or area.
This compact, lightweight Ethernet print server connects directly to the Centronics port on your printer, for a discreet solution that doesn’t require a cable between your printer and the device - simply connect the device to the network using an RJ45 cable. The ability to position your printer anywhere on the network does away with the need for a dedicated print server PC, saving resources and avoiding performance bottlenecks.
The parallel print server can have you up and running in minutes, using either a remote web-based or Windows® based installation wizard. The print server offers broad operating system compatibility and works with a wide variety of parallel printing devices for easy installation into mixed environments, and also supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for remote monitoring.

Before you add the printer connected to the print server to your computer, you need to configure the print server for your network. For more information about how to configure your print server, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/print_servers_alternate_setup.
To add the printer connected to the print server to your computer, complete the following:
For applications that do not support print server software, you can use the web interface to configure the print server for your network. Some advanced configuration options (for example, IP settings) are available on the web interface. You can access the web interface by connecting the Ethernet port on the print server to a computer system.
You require the following components to set up your print server:
A computer system with an available Ethernet port.
An Ethernet cable.
The default IP address of the print server (found in the manual).
Note: Before you continue, make sure that the print server is set to the default configuration. For more information about how to reset the print server to the default configuration, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/print_servers_factory_reset.
To access the print server web interface, complete the following:
Plug the print server into a power source.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the print server to the computer.
Change your computer's IP address to the same network that the print server is on. For more information about how to change the IP address, navigate to http://www.startech.com/Support and enter your product ID.
Note: Your computer's IP address must be on the same network as the print server, but not have the same IP address. For example, if a print server is on network 192.168.1.100, the computer must be set to 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx is a number between 1 and 254 but is not 100.
Enter the printer IP address in the address bar of your web browser.
You should now be able to access the print server configuration and make the necessary changes for it to work on your network.
To reset the print server to the default factory settings, complete the following:
Unplug the power cable from the print server.
Press and hold the Reset button, and plug the power cable back into the print server. Do not release the Reset button.
Continue to press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds.
Wait 5 seconds, turn off the print server and then turn on the printer server.
This device's default static IP address is 192.168.0.10.
