To use IP Peer-to-Peer printing, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and set up on
the computer before using IP Peer-to-Peer printing.
If TCP/IP is used on a computer already, proceed to section

page 18
.
If not, you will need to install the TCP/IP protocol for the operating system on the
computer. Refer to Windows Help for further details. The IP Address, Subnet Mask
