ONFIGURATION
This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.
Overview
The Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the
configuration required would depend upon the environment in which it is
installed.
■
The Print Server usually requires configuration, but if there's a DHCP
server on your network, then the device is just plug-and-play. A
Windows-based Setup Wizard is also provided on the CD-ROM to
simplify this task.
■
PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the Print Server always
require configuration. See
Chapter 4 for details.
■
If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT
Server/Windows 2000/Windows XP , the Network Server must be
configured as detailed in Appendix B . However, it is not necessary to
use a Network Server-based queue; client PCs can print directly to the
Print Server using the
Peer-to-peer Printing installed by the Install
3Com Print Server Utilities option on the CD-ROM.
Configuration
Methods
The following methods are available to perform the required Print Server
configuration:
■
Windows-based Wizard - see “Using the Windows Wizard” for
details.
■
Web-based setup - see Chapter 5 for details.
