•
For Windows 9x/Me/2000 clients, before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/
2000 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and double-click the printer
name.
You will be prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add
Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in
Getting Started
.
•
For Windows NT 4.0 clients, before printing, connect to the print server computer and
select the Fiery 3850C. 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 are grayed and not available for changing. When a
client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server,
and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery 3850C. The job is listed
in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in
the Fiery 3850C window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000 print
server.
Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server
If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, Windows computers
can still print to the Fiery 3850C. This method of printing is called Windows printing,
sometimes known as SMB printing. In this type of network environment, the
Windows computers operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly
with the Fiery 3850C when users send print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/
2000 server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present.
The prerequisites are summarized below, and you can find more detail in the
Fiery 3850C documentation and your Microsoft documentation.
