driver available for clients to download from Windows 95/98/Me/2000 and Windows NT 4.0 computers.

The GA-1040 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet. During GA-1040 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the GA-1040 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

Tips for experts—NetWare 5.x networks

Setting up the GA-1040 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The following information is useful for experienced network administrators:

•Make sure you have a valid IP address for the GA-1040 and for any workstations that will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

•In GA-1040 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address for the GA-1040. You can enter these manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.

•Bi-directional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the GA-1040.

Configuring a NetWare 5.x server for printing

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5 installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are using NetWare 5.x Service Pack version 3.0 or later, and the Novell Gateway version

2.0.3or later. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

In GA-1040 Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (page 2-12) on the GA-1040. You can ping the GA-1040 (page 5-16) to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful.
