33-10 Setting up the GA-1040 from TopAccess

Other Setup options

In the Other Setup window, you can set up Windows printing, LPD printing, and Port 9100 printing.

Windows Printing

Windows Setup enables the Microsoft SMB protocol, which supports peer to peer printing, also known as Windows printing.

Broadcasts from SMB devices cannot pass across a router without a WINS name server. In the options that follow, you can specify whether to use a WINS name server. You can even have the GA-1040 obtain the WINS name server IP address automatically.

For information on how to set up a Windows computer for Windows (SMB) printing, see Getting Started. Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so TCP/IP must be configured on all workstations that will use Windows (SMB) printing and on the GA-1040 as well.

Enable Windows Printing Service—This enables SMB (Server Message Block), the file and printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the GA-1040 to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the GA-1040 without any other networking software.

Server Name—The server name is the name that will appear on the network for accessing the GA-1040 via SMB. The default name is the same as the server name assigned in Server Setup (see page 2-6).

Comment—Comments can contain information about the printer. These comments are listed in the Properties of the GA-1040 in Network Neighborhood.

Domain or Workgroup—Enter the name of the workgroup or domain where you want the GA-1040 to appear.

Use WINS Name Server—To find out whether a name server is available, contact your network administrator.

Enable Auto IP—Choose this option to have the GA-1040 automatically obtain the WINS Name Server IP address. If you do not choose this option, proceed to the IP Address option, where you specify the WINS IP address.
