22-1 GA-1120 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000 servers—that share printing to the GA-1120. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the GA-1120. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the GA-1120 and run Fiery utilities and WebTools.

The GA-1120 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0/2000, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0/2000 environment (see “GA-1120 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP” in the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000, proceed to the following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-17.

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP

When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP computer is configured to connect to the GA-1120 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the GA-1120. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP and Windows 9x/Me clients. Client computers print to the GA-1120 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server computer.

Typical system combinations are:

Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000 Server; clients running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 9x/Me

Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and clients running Windows 9x/Me
