Note: On Windows computers, click Start Æ Programs Æ Command prompt (or Accessories Æ Command prompt if using Windows 2000).

If the printer is active on the network, a reply is sent.

After the TCP/IP settings are assigned and verified, install the printer on each network computer.

Windows

In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both network printing methods require the installation of a printer driver and the creation of a network printer port.
