Print server Metapace colorp2wifi with Wi‑Fi 802.11b/g/n support

Metapace colorp2wifi is a compact print server designed to provide wireless printing over Wi‑Fi networks using 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n standards. It connects a USB printer to a local WLAN so multiple users on the same network can send print jobs without a direct USB or Ethernet connection. The device is aimed at home and small office environments where adding a printer to an existing wireless network simplifies access and reduces the need for a dedicated print host.

Advantages

The Metapace colorp2wifi enables shared printing via common Wi‑Fi standards, allowing a single USB printer to be accessed by several networked devices. Its compact form factor makes it easy to position near the printer and integrates into an existing WLAN without additional cabling. The unit supports legacy and newer wireless protocols (802.11b/g/n), offering compatibility with a wide range of routers and client devices. Installation and network setup are intended to be straightforward, reducing configuration time in multi‑user environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a single USB printer to a home wireless network
• Enabling shared printing in small offices without Ethernet ports at the printer location
• Integrating printers into WLANs for multiple users on laptops, desktops and mobile devices
• Replacing a directly connected PC used as a print server

Key specifications

• Wireless standards: Wi‑Fi 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n
• Interface to printer: USB (for connecting a single printer)
• Target use: wireless print server for home and small office networks
• Form factor: compact device designed to sit near the printer

How to use

Connect the Metapace colorp2wifi to the printer's USB port and power it according to the included instructions. Configure the device to join the local WLAN using the supported 802.11b/g/n settings through the provided setup method (software or web interface as supplied with the unit). Once the print server is connected to the wireless network and associated with the printer, install the printer driver on each client device and add the networked printer using the operating system's standard printer setup tools. After installation, users on the same WLAN can send print jobs to the shared printer without a direct cable connection.

Usage recommendations

Place the print server close to the printer and within reliable Wi‑Fi coverage; ensure the WLAN uses compatible 802.11b/g/n modes and standard security settings. For consistent performance in multi‑user scenarios, verify that the router and network capacity suit the expected print volume and that printer drivers are correctly installed on all client devices.
