3 Windows Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup including:
1. Identifying the PrintNet on the network using TCP/IP as the
underlying protocol
2. Configuring the PrintNet with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (IP
address and subnet mask)
3. Configuring a new printer on the Windows station
Windows Environment Description
The PrintNet supports network printing under Windows environments by
using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT
setup, pure TCP/IP is used as the
network protocol whereas with Windows 95
or Windows 98
, NetBIOS
over TCP/IP is used.
Figure 7 shows two of the most common Windows setups you will see
with the PrintNet. The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on
the NT server to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However, any
Windows station can also go directly to the PrintNet.
