22 Setting up the network printer

Print servers connect printers to networks. This lets many users access printers from their own workstations, a very cost effective way to share powerful and expensive printers. It is not necessary to buy an extra personal computer to attach each printer to the network. You use the print server instead.

Environments we support

Print servers support an extraordinarily wide range of network environments.

Any single print server on any given physical network can accept and process print jobs from any or all of these logical networks concurrently. For example, if a MarkNet XI physically attaches a printer to an Ethernet network, then a NetWare client and an AppleTalk user can send print jobs to the printer simultaneously. The print jobs are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Connect the hardware

Instructions on connecting the Ethernet cable to your Lexmark E320n Printer can be found in the printer Setup Book. To view the Setup Book from this CD, click the Home icon Other Resources PDFs for Printing Setup Guide.

Print a network setup page

Push the operator panel button with a brief button press to print a network setup page showing the physical address of the network printer. A printer settings page prints first and after a few moments a network setup page prints. Save the network setup page because you will use it later.
