Setting Up a Computer for Printing
After you have completed the protocol settings of the machine, you are ready to set
up each of the computers for printing.
■
Connecting to a TCP/IP Network
All computers that use the printer must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be
enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with the operating
system.
■
Installing the Printer Driver and Specifying the Printer Destination Setting
To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the
printer destination. The printer destination setting differs depending on the print protocol
used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the print protocol
you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.
•
LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
This is the print protocol generally used with TCP/IP. See "Printer Connection Method
(LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-16 to install the printer driver and to specify the printer destination
setting.
•
Raw
This is the print protocol used with Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. It can print at higher
speeds than LPD. See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-16 to install the
printer driver and to specify the printer destination setting.
NOTE
Configuration of Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 as a print server provides efficient
management of your network printer. For the detailed procedure, see "Print Server
Settings," on p. 2-19.
