CHAPTER 2 MAIN CONTROLLER

5.2 SMB Printing

SMB has been developed so as to use NetBIOS, which specifies an address by means of a computer name, for use solely with a specific protocol. SMB over TCP/IP is designed for use in combination with the TCP/IP protocol, enabling the machine to print data directly from Windows 95/98/ME without going through a Windows NT/2000 sever as is in the case of LPR printing and without the need for an LPR utility. (A Windows work group may be made use of, but Windows NT/2000 cannot be called into the domain.)

On a TCP/IP network an address must be specified by means of an IP address, not the name of the computer in question, requiring conversion of a computer name into an IP ad- dress. If a WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) server exits on the network, the function may also be made use of. If it does not exist or is not used, the PC will contact all devices on the network to find out the IP address of the machine before it sends a print job to the machine.
