SERVER
• Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003
server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and then double-click the
printer name.
You are prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer
Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in Chapter 1 of the
User Software
Installation Guide .
• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and
select the Fiery. 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 appear dimmed, and are unavailable for changing.
When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/
Server 2003 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery.
The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator
can track it in the Fiery window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/
Server 2003 print server.
Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server
2003 server
If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows
workstations can still print to the Fiery. This method of printing is called Windows, or
SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 98/
Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations operate in a peer-to-
peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery when users send print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/
2000/Server 2003 server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is
not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the following list, and you can find
more detail in your Microsoft documentation.
