Although there are some differences in configuration options between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using TCP/IP is the same.

1.Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed in Windows. This can be confirmed by checking the network settings from within the Control Panel. If TCP/IP has not been installed refer to the section below Installation of TCP/IP protocol.

2.If not already configured, a suitable IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway address should be configured. Please refer to the on-line help if necessary. It is vital that the IP address entered is unique and valid. Entering an incorrect IP address may cause severe network problems. Please check the address with the network administrator.

3.If your network environment uses domain names, DNS should be enabled and configured on your system. However, this step is not essential to enable network printing.

4.Restart the operating system.
