CHAPTER 7
NETWORK SETUP
O
VERVIEW
To begin using the SuperScript 4400 Printer as a network
printer, you must do the following setup tasks.
1. Connect the 4400N to your network (see page 21).
note:
The 4400N printer already has a network interface
card (NIC) installed. If you have a 4400 printer, you can
purchase a Network Interface Upgrade Kit and install a
NIC yourself. See page 27 for installation instructions.
2. Assign an IP address to the 4400N printer. (This step is
not necessary for Mac OS users.)
3. Configure your network and workstations to use the
4400 network printer.

Setup Options

The SuperScript 4400 Series CD contains network printing
tools to support the following configurations.
Windows
TCP/IP is required if you want to access and use the
Network Administration Page to monitor and manage
network printers. TCP/IP is also required to operate the
printer in an IP protocol network (such as for peer to peer
printing). See the instructions on page 79 for setting up
TCP/IP for Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4.0.
NetWare
See the instructions beginning on page 84 for configuring
NetWare 4.x or 3.x and the 4400N to work with
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0.
Peer to Peer Printing
If you do not have a network server, you can use peer to peer
printing to print directly to a networked printer from
Windows 95/98. You must have the SuperScript 4400 printer
driver installed. For IP peer to peer printing, the Microsoft
TCP/IP protocol stack must be installed and properly
configured on your workstation. See the instructions on
page 80 for peer to peer printing.
lpr Printing in Windows NT Networks
In Windows NT networks, you can use lpr printing. See
page 81 for setup instructions.
Mac OS
Mac OS information is provided in Chapter 4. See the
instructions on page 48 to set up and print from Mac OS
computers over EtherTalk.
