Attaching directly to the network (queue)
If you are using a Microsoft or Novell server and want to control who prints to the network
printer, attach the printer through a print queue on a server. The queue setup lets you
control the printer in a central location.
In this section you will:
• Attach cables.
• Print and check the network setup page.
• Assign an IP address to the printer.
• Verify the IP settings.
• Set up the queue on the server.
• Install printer drivers for all clients connected to the server.
Attach cables
1 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
2 Plug one end of a standard category 5 cable into a LAN drop or hub, and the other end
into the Ethernet port (the top connector) on the back of the printer. The printer
automatically adjusts for the network speed.
