2-1 GA-1120 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000 servers—that share
printing to the GA-1120. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocols for communicating with the GA-1120. In addition, it includes guidelines for
setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations or
UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the
requirements for users to print to the GA-1120 and run Fiery utilities and WebTools.
The GA-1120 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0/2000,
and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration,
they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0/2000
environment (see
“GA-1120 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP”
in the following section).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000, proceed to the following section.
For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to

GA-1120 on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP computer is configured to connect to the
GA-1120 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the GA-1120. If the computer shares
the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP and Windows 9x/Me clients. Client computers print to
the GA-1120 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server. You can then
monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server computer.
Typical system combinations are:
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000 Server; clients running
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 9x/Me
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and clients running
Windows 9x/Me
