Adding a Printer
Installing a USB-attached local printer on an XPe I/Port requires installation steps both
at the I/Port and on the PC blade. You need administrator privileges on both systems.
To perform the tasks at the I/Port, do the following:
1. Disable the Write Filter (see Configuring the XPe I/Port on page 16).
2. Install the printer driver from a USB-attached storage device.
3. Double-click on the Write Filter icon in the system tray and select Commit
changes to disk and disable write filter. The I/Port reboots automatically.
4. After the I/Port reboots, select Start Æ Printers and Faxes and right-click on the
printer that was just installed.
5. Enable sharing according to the printer driver’s procedures.
6. Select Start Æ Control Panel Æ Firewall.
7. Select the Exceptions tab.
8. Highlight the File and Printer Share service and select Edit.
9. In the Edit a Service window, click the checkboxes required to enable the printer.
At a minimum, UDP ports 137 and 138, and TCP port 139 must be open.
10. Click OK twice to commit the changes and close the Firewall control panel.
11. Double-click on the Write Filter icon in the system tray and select Commit
changes to disk and enable write filter to reboot the I/Port.
To perform the tasks on the blade, do the following:
1. Select Start Æ Printers and Faxes Æ Add a printer.
2. Select Network Printer and use the Add Printer Wizard.
3. When prompted, select Connect to this printer and either browse to the printer,
or enter \\iport_name\printer_name (where iport_name is the I/Port and
printer_name is the printer).
4. Follow the wizard’s prompts until the installation is completed.
A restart of the blade is not required.
