Note: These descriptions assume that you have already established contact with the print server and set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. If you need help to do this, consult the Getting Started brochure, the Quick Guide, or “IP Assignments for Initial Contact” [page 88] in this manual.

The following environments are covered in this manual:

•“Windows 2000 and Windows XP” [page 23]

•“Raw Socket Printing (Standard TCP/IP Port)” [page 24]

•“LPR” [page 27]—native or using the Intermate Print Port [note *1]

•“Internet Print Protocol” [page 30]

•“Windows NT 4.0” [page 32]

•“Using an Intermate Print Port for Raw Socket or LPR” [page 33] [note *1]
