Setting Up a Computer for Printing
(Windows/UNIX)
After you have completed the protocol settings for printing with the machine, you
are ready to set up each of the computers for printing.
■
Connecting to a TCP/IP Network
All computers that use the printer must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be
enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with the operating
system.
■
Installing the Printer Driver and Specifying the Printer Destination Setting
To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the
printer destination. The printer destination setting differs depending on the print
application used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the
print application you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.
•
LPD
This is the print application generally used with TCP/IP. See the following to install the
printer driver and to specify the printer destination setting.
“Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw),” on p. 3-28
•
Raw
This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher speeds than
LPD. See the following to install the printer driver and to specify the printer destination
setting.
“Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw),” on p. 3-28
•
IPP
This is a print application that can be used with Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP. It uses the
http protocol to print using Internet/intranet connections. See the following to install the
printer driver and specify the printer destination setting.
“Printer Connection Method (IPP),” on p. 3-37
•
SMB
This is a print application that can be used with NetBIOS network. See “Chapter 5 Using a
NetBIOS Network (Windows).”
IMPORTANT
•
If the settings for [RX/Print Range] of [IP Address Range Settings] do not permit the IP
address of a computer in which a printer driver is installed, you cannot print from the
computer. (See step 21 in “TCP/IP Settings,” on p. 3-4.)
•
When printing with IPP, the Pause Printing and Cancel All Documents settings on the
Printer menu in the Windows print queue cannot be used. (To view the print queue, use
the [Start] Menu, point to [Settings], click [Printers], and then double-click the icon of the
machine.)
