2-17 Fiery EX2101 on a network with UNIX workstations
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or rp in the
/etc/printcap
file) in configuring the Fiery EX2101 must be one of the following
:
print
hold
The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0
/2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 workstation to connect to the
Fiery EX2101 over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your
Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 printer, as the “Name of printer or Print queue on that
(lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box.
For the Windows 2000/XP/2003 printer driver, enter the remote printer name for
Queue Name under LPR Settings in the Configure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor
dialog
box.
Setting up the Fiery EX2101 on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery EX2101, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to
obtain an address for the Fiery EX2101. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print
directly to the Fiery EX2101 as a remote printer, or can print to a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.
Since the Fiery EX2101 spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in
placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery EX2101. If you
choose to do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine
does not have its own spooling area.
