2-7 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
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.
• Print a Configuration page (see page 5-33).
Use the information on this page to determine the current Fiery settings.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer.
Windows 98/Me: Load File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks.
Windows 2000/XP: Load Client for Microsoft Networks.
• In the Windows Network Control Panel, verify the Workgroup name of the computer.
Make sure that the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in Fiery Setup.
• Windows 98/Me: In the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network Properties
dialog box, specify Automatic or Enabled for Browse Master, and select Yes for
LM
Announce.
Windows 2000/XP: In the Client for Microsoft Networks Properties dialog box,
configure the computer to allow file sharing, and then restart the computer.
• Ping the Fiery to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see page 2-19).
• Insert the C9800 Driver CD and wait for it to autorun.
If the CD does not start automatically, click [Start]→ [Run] and enter E:\Setup (where
E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open field, then click on [OK].
