8 Printer Environment Settings

SMB Environments

Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing files or printers on Windows OS. This section explains the installation procedure for connecting a printer to a Windows network through SMB.

System configuration

As the machine supports SMB protocol, you can send print data directly to the machine on the same network without going through the server.

You can use either NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or even both as the transport protocol for SMB. You will need to set up the IP address on the machine and the computer if you are using TCP/IP.

NOTE: Windows XP/Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista do not support NetBEUI.

NOTE: You can make SMB settings through CentreWare Internet Services. For more information on how to make SMB settings, refer to CentreWare Internet Services on page 147.
