8.2.1Network Service and Protocol Installation

Windows NT supports network printing utilizing TCP/IP, Novel Netware IPX, NetBeui and AppleTalk protocols. Appropriate protocols and services must be installed prior to conÞguring printers.

8.2.2Windows NT Server Queues

Problem Downloading non-Windows NT drivers From Windows NT Servers

Windows NT systems are supposed to support automatic downloading of other OS drivers when users conÞgure their OS for printing to a Windows NT queue. For non-Windows NT OSs, i.e.,Windows 95, the proper Kodak OS driver is not downloaded. When a printer is shared on a server, do not select other OSs that will use the queue. Drivers should be installed locally on all non-Windows NT systems serviced by a server.

Preventing Corrupt Image Data

On Windows NT servers, you may encounter corrupt data when printing Þles over 5 Mbytes (exhibited by occurrences of color bands across the printed image). You can correct this condition by setting up your server to accept the entire print job before passing the Þle on to the printer. To do this, do NOT select Job Prints While Spooling in Server Properties.

8.3ConÞguring your Workstation for Printing

You should verify that this platform is supported for printing to your printer or proofer. Refer to the user guides and software Þles provided with your printer or proofer for information about installing software to support PostScript and raster printing, calibration, etc. If needed, refer to Appendix E, Technical Assistance.
