3 Windows Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup including:
1.Identifying the PrintNet on the network using TCP/IP as the underlying protocol
2.Configuring the PrintNet with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (IP address and subnet mask)
3.Configuring a new printer on the Windows station
Windows Environment Description
The PrintNet supports network printing under Windows environments by using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT® setup, pure TCP/IP is used as the network protocol whereas with Windows 95® or Windows 98®, NetBIOS over TCP/IP is used.
Figure 7 shows two of the most common Windows setups you will see with the PrintNet. The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT server to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However, any Windows station can also go directly to the PrintNet.
