7 Configuring for TCP/IP
The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC)
supports TCP/IP. The NIC appears to the network as a print
server with its own IP address using the lpd line printer daemon
protocol. Any host computer that supports the remote lpr
command can spool jobs to the NIC. The NIC also supports
gateways for communications with hosts on remote networks. For
special applications, a raw TCP port is available. Kodak develops
printing software and supports networked printing environments
for Windows and Macintosh platforms.
Windows
For Windows platforms, NT is the only platform that supports
TCP/IP printing. Win95/98 systems do not support direct printing
using TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose
TCP/IP LPR printing software.
Macintosh
Macintosh systems use AppleTalk protocol for network
communications and do not support TCP/IP printing without the
addition of special purpose TCP/IP software.
Unix
• Kodak does not develop printing software for Unix platforms.
However, Kodak assists third-party developers who provide
applications and printing software to support Kodak printers.
Refer to the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) for information
on third-party developer solutions.
• Some customers who have Unix applications and drivers
capable of generating PostScript output files may wish to
submit these files to Kodak PostScript printers.
• General information for configuring printers on Unix platforms
is provided to accommodate the use of lpr to send output files
to Kodak printers. If you encounter problems, administrators
should refer to the documentation for their specific Unix
platform for configuring print queues.
NOTE: Although generic PostScript files should print on Kodak
PostScript printers, Kodak cannot guarantee the quality of
output generated from non-Kodak drivers that may not
support features such as calibration of Kodak printers.
