95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP/2003 Server operating systems.

screen instructions to complete this installation.

.
4. Double-click on the print server that you want to print to in the list.
5. If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows printing) and
you do not have a DHCP server (see note below), you will need to
manually assign a valid IP Address (if you are not sure what IP
address is valid, ask your network administrator), and click on
OK
.
NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server may
have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further
configuration is necessary. This might work well if your DHCP server
allows the print server to keep this address permanently, but in most
cases, you will want to use a static address outside the range reserved
for DHCP (see your DHCP server documentation for details). When
you configure your printer port, the print server will go to a static IP
address. To assign a static IP address, right-click on the print server in
the menu, and then select Configuration. On the TCP/IP tab, under IP
Address Resolution, select Set Permanent, and assign a valid static IP
address for your network. Click on
OK
to save the new settings.
6. To install the ExtendConnect IP Port Monitor, insert the CD supplied
with your print server, click on
Install Software
, and then click on
Install ExtendNet Connect for TCP/IP
. Follow the on-screen
instructions to complete this installation.
7. Install the printer driver software according to the documentation for
the printer.
