Microsoft Windows 5

This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network
from various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous ways
of printing from Windows and the exact set-up will vary depending
upon your environment. There are also numerous versions of
Windows, which can be configured as either a client, server or both.

Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of
network printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help with
all of their operating systems and this is a good reference point for the
exact details of each configuration option within Windows.

The network printer supports the following protocols that can be used
in conjunction with the Windows operating system:

>

TCP/IP

>

IPX  (Novell  NetWare)

>

NetBEUI

Microsoft Windows 6

There are a number of options available when printing using TCP/IP
for Windows. The following table lists the options:

These functions are built into Windows and are displayed as options when using the Add Printer Wizard.

Although there are some differences in configuration options
between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing
using TCP/IP is the same.

1.

Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed in Windows.
This can be confirmed by checking the network settings from
within the Control Panel. If TCP/IP has not been installed refer to
the section below Installation of TCP/IP protocol.

2.

If not already configured, a suitable IP address, Subnet Mask
and Gateway address should be configured. Please refer to the
on-line help if necessary. It is vital that the IP address entered is
unique and valid. Entering an incorrect IP address may cause
severe network problems. Please check the address with the
network administrator.

3.

If your network environment uses domain names, DNS should
be enabled and configured on your system. However, this step is
not essential to enable network printing. 

4.

Restart the operating system.
