Verifying the IP settings

1Print another network setup page. Look under the “TCP/IP” heading, and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are correct. See Printing a network setup page on page 16 if help is needed.

2Ping the printer, and verify that it responds. At a command prompt on a network computer, type ping followed by the new printer IP address (for example, 192.168.0.11).

Note: On Windows computers, click Start à Programs à Command prompt (or Accessories à 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.

Supported printer drivers

•Windows system printer driver

•Lexmark custom printer driver

System drivers are built into Windows operating systems. Custom drivers are available on the drivers CD.

Updated system and custom drivers are available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Supported network printer ports

•Microsoft Standard TCP/IP port— Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003

•LPR— Windows NT 4.0

•Lexmark Enhanced TCP/IP port— Windows 98 SE/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003

For basic printer functionality, install a system printer driver and use a system network printer port, such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. The system printer driver and port allow for a consistent user interface for use with all the printers on the network. However, using a custom printer driver and network port provides enhanced functionality, such as printer status alerts.
