Network printing from Windows
®
:
basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing
Overview
If you are a Windows ® user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please
follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer
driver which you will need to be able to use as a network printer.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you have
not configured the IP address, see
Chapter 2 first.
• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
• If you are connecting to a Network Print Queue or Share (printing only), see Installation when using a
Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) on page A-8.
For Windows ® 2000/XP users
By default, Windows ® 2000/XP systems install the necessary print software to enable you to print. This
section describes the most commonly used configuration, Standard TCP/IP Port printing.
If you have already installed the printer driver, jump to Printer driver already installed on page 5-2.
