Configuring for TCP/IP
Configuration Summary
The following are the steps you need to complete to set up your printer for network printing:
1.Set up the printer. Refer to the QuickSetup card or the Operator’s Guide that is included on the CD for instructions on setting up your printer.
2.Install the NIC in the printer and connect it to an Ethernet network. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on installing the NIC and Ethernet cable.
3.Obtain an IP address for the printer (NIC). Assign the IP address to the printer (NIC) using the printer’s front control panel or by using remote NIC configuration tools.
4.Print a NIC configuration page to verify that the installation is correct. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on printing a NIC configuration page.
5.Configure network communications using TCP/IP on each workstation or server that will be communicating directly with the printer.
NOTE: Configuring network communications between workstation clients and servers is beyond the scope of this manual. For client/server environments, it is presumed that a functional client/server network environment already exists.
6.Install the printing software (AdobePS driver for and PPD for PostScript printing and/or export module for raster printing) on each workstation that will be sending jobs to the printer.
Networking Software for TCP/IP
Novell Netware Servers
Novell Netware 5.x supports communications using TCP/IP. Prior versions (3.x, 4.x) support IPX and AppleTalk Print Services, but do not support TCP/IP. Refer to your Novell Netware 5.x documentation for communications using TCP/IP and configuring print queues.
