:
• For Windows 95/98/2000/Me clients, before printing, double-click the
Windows NT 4.0 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and double-click
the printer name.
You will be prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add
Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in Getting Started.
• For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients, before printing, connect to the print server
computer and select the ColorPASS. Right-click and choose the Open command.
When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.
After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page
Setup or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for
their own job, but printer properties are grayed and not available for changing. When a
client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0 print server, and
from there to the selected print connection on the ColorPASS. The job is listed in the
Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the
ColorPASS window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0 print server.
Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0 server
If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0 server, Windows 95/98/Me and
Windows NT 4.0/2000 workstations can still print to the ColorPASS. This method of
printing is called Windows printing, sometimes known as SMB printing. In this type
of network environment, computers running Windows 95/98/Me and Windows
NT 4.0 Workstation 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
server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present. The
prerequisites are summarized below, and you can find more detail in the ColorPASS
documentation and your Microsoft documentation.
