Connecting the Printer to a Network
Setting up TCP/IP printing
TCP/IP provides network services for high-speed local and wide area
networks and heterogeneous environments including PC compatibles,
Macintosh computers, minicomputers, and mainframes running diverse
operating systems. The printer supports the lpr protocol for printing over
TCP/IP networks. Network users submit print jobs to a named printer.
Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the printer, or can
print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print
server.
Before you install the printer on a TCP/IP network, you need to obtain a
unique IP address. Contact your network administrator for this information.
