Ricoh AP1400/AP2000 manual Windows IP Peer-to-Peer Printing, Installation and Operation

If the NIB does not see any Novell activity, it will use 802.2 on 802.3 as a frame type and will assign itself a network number of 0. The frame type and network number being used is reported on the status and configuration sheet.

If a NIB is being moved from a site that had active Novell to a site that does not, the unit should be reset to factory default to clear the frame type and network number information.

Once the redirector is installed, each printer on the network that supports this peer-to-peer capability will appear as a Port under Printer Properties.

To use the Peer-to-Peer connection, create a logical printer using the Add Printer Wizard according to the instructions for your printer. Set up the printer as a LOCAL printer. Use the driver that came with your printer.

When the Add Printer Wizard asks you to choose the Port, select the name of the Peer-to-Peer printer you wish to print to. (Example: RDP-xxxxxx) When you complete the installation, select the Print Test Page option.
