Without Using a NetWare Server

In a network environment like the one below, either a TCP/IP or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used for printing. Multiple protocols can also be used at the same time.

NOTE

NetBIOS is available only for Windows 95/98/Me.

Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT

Protocol: TCP/IP, NetBIOS

Machine

Depending on the protocol, see the following:

•Chapter 2, "Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX)"

•Chapter 4, "Using a NetBIOS Network (Windows 95/98/Me)"

NOTE

•Once you set up the machine as a network printer, each computer can print directly to it. Using the TCP/IP protocol with Windows 2000/XP or Windows NT as a print server provides efficient management of your network printer. For the detailed procedure, see “Print Server Settings,” on p. 2-40.

•In a network comprising only of Windows 95/98/Me computers that do not use the TCP/IP protocol, can use the NetBIOS protocol only for connecting to a network and printing. For detailed information, see Chapter 4, "Using a NetBIOS Network (Windows 95/98/Me)."
