2-7 ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
Configuring Windows computers without a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server
If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server,
Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations can still
print to the ColorPASS. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing.
In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 98/Me and
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations operate in a peer-to-peer
environment and communicate directly with the ColorPASS when users send
print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server also apply to setting up Windows printing
where a server is not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the following list,
and you can find more detail in your Microsoft documentation.
•
Print a Configuration page (see
on page 7-12).
Use the information on this page to determine the current ColorPASS settings.
•
Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 98/Me, load
File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network. For Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
load Client for Microsoft Networks).
•
Verify the Workgroup name of the computer on the Identification tab in the Network
control panel (Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0), the Network Identification tab in the System
Properties dialog box (Windows 2000), or the Computer Name tab in the System
Properties dialog box (Windows XP/Server 2003).
Make sure the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in ColorPASS Setup.
•
For Windows 98/Me, in the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network Properties
dialog box, specify Automatic or Enabled for Browse Master, and select Yes for
LM Announce.
•
Ping the ColorPASS to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see
address>"
on page 2-18).
