55-24 Setting up the GA-1120 from a Windows Computer

Enable Windows Printing Service—Select to enable SMB (Server Message Block), the file and printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the GA-1120 to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the GA-1120 without any other networking software. For information on setting up a Windows client for Windows printing, see the User Software Installation Guide.

NOTE: Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so you must configure TCP/IP on the GA-1120 and any computers that use Windows printing.

Server Name—Enter the server name that will appear on the network. It can, but does not have to, be the same name as the server name assigned to the GA-1120

(see page 5-3).

Comment—Enter information about the printer, up to 15 characters. These comments are listed in the Properties of the GA-1120 in Network Neighborhood. Lowercase letters are allowed in this field.

Domain or Workgroup—Enter the workgroup or domain where the GA-1120 should appear.

Auto IP—If you have already enabled IP Auto in Protocol Setup, and selected either DHCP or BOOTP as the protocol for obtaining an IP address, check this option to allow the GA-1120 to obtain the IP address automatically for the WINS Name Server. If you do not check this option, you can use the following two options to specify whether to use a WINS Name Server and what its IP address is.

Use WINS Server—Select to use a WINS name server. Broadcasts from SMB devices cannot be routed beyond their original network segment without a WINS name server. Setting up the WINS name server is outside the scope of this manual. To find out if a name server is available, contact your network administrator.

IP Address—Enter the IP address of the WINS name server.
