22-6 Setting up Network Servers

Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/XP/Server 2003 computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY SHARED

BY A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER

Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and then double-click the printer name.

You are prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation Guide.

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the Fiery. Right-click and choose the Open command.

When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.

After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for their own job, but printer properties appear dimmed, and are unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the Fiery window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server.
