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 print using your 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 Setting up the IP address and subnet mask on page 10 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 46 for installation details.
