7 TCP/IP Configuration

TCP/IP NIC Configuration

This configuration procedure assumes you have an existing network and

TCP/IP attached to a Windows 95/98/NT, Unix, or other machine.

You will configure network printing by adding the necessary TCP/IP values to the NIC and associating the Print Server as an output port for a Windows printer on a 95/98/NT client or server, or to a print queue or logical printer in Unix, AS/400, or HP e3000.

Before You Begin

1.You must obtain the IP address and subnet mask to be used for the NIC. In addition, a gateway value may be needed. A gateway is a device that knows how to find other TCP/IP devices on other sections of the network that may need to know about the P5000LJ printer.

2.The NetBEUI/NetBIOS protocol may be used to define the network port for a Windows printer, for example. (Use the following sequence: Start, Settings, Printers, Add, network printer, network path or queue name...) NetBEUI/NetBIOS does not route, which means you must use it on a single network segment, but this setup is ideal for a single network or a small network.
