Vista™ and Windows Sever® 2003 installation.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to
configure the IP address, see Chapter2 first.

configured to pass data between the two devices.

This print sever also supports the IPPS printing, see Printing documents securely using IPPSon page 49.
