Setup Options
The SuperScript 4200N 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 65 for setting up
TCP/IP for Windows 95/98 , and Windows NT 4.0 .
NetWare
See the instructions beginning on page 69 for configuring
NetWare 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x and the 4200N 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 4200N
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 66 for peer-to-peer printing.
LPR Printing in Windows NT Networks
In Windows NT networks, you can use LPR (line printer)
printing. See page 67 for setup instructions.
Macintosh OS
Macintosh OS information is provided in Chapter 4. See the
instructions on page 41 to set up and print from Macintosh
clients over EtherTalk.
