5-1 RIP Station on an IPX network
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that share printing to
the RIP Station. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols
for communicating with the RIP Station. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting
up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations and UNIX
workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the
requirements for users to print to the RIP Station and to run the Fiery utilities and
Fiery WebTools.
The following table describes the Fiery utilities supported over each protocol and
Windows platform.
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, proceed to page 5-8. For information
on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 5-15.
