55-13 GA-1040 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

Installing the GA-1040 as a shared PostScript printer

The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer driver and the GA-1040 PostScript printer description file (PPD), which gives your applications access to some printer features. The installation instructions in Getting Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the GA-1040. However, if you are an administrator running Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. When a printer is shared, clients who are not able or are not given permission to establish an independent network connection to the GA-1040 have to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the GA-1040 printer files. If you have not yet installed the GA-1040 printer files on the Windows NT 4.0 print server computer, do so now following the instructions in Getting Started. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the GA-1040.

If you have already installed the GA-1040 printer files on the computer you are using as a Windows NT 4.0 print server, see your Windows documentation for information about sharing the GA-1040.

If more than one GA-1040 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), you may wish to create a printer for each print connection so that you and other users can print to each connection directly. When prompted to specify the printer name, you may want to enter a name that indicates the GA-1040 print connection.
