Windows NT 3.51Workstations and Servers
Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 9-3
Raster Mode Considerations
NOTE: The export module for NT only supports Raster mode
printing using TCP/IP or IPX (Novell) queues. NT
AppleTalk printing will not recognize the printer in Raster
mode because the printer advertises itself as a
Kodak_Raster device instead of a LaserWriter device.
Therefore, AppleTalk printing will limit the use of the
printer to PostScript mode printing only.
A workstation can be configured as a pseudo-server when using
TCP/IP to service a printer by also sharing the printer and
assigning a queue name. The same workstation can then select
itself as a server and the shared queue for either PostScript or
Raster mode printing.
Windows NT Servers and Workstations
Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers
provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may
encounter problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by Kodak.
When in doubt, refer to the Kodak web site for availability and the
latest versions of drivers. Refer to “Getting Help” for information
on how to access the Kodak web site.
We recommend that you install the printer driver and/or the
export module on each server and workstation on your network.
When you set up the servers for sharing, install only the software
relevant to the operating system for the server.
Direct Printing
We recommended that an NT server be configured to service
printers with TCP/IP since both PostScript and Raster mode
printing is supported by TCP/IP server/queues. An AppleTalk
server/queue only supports PostScript mode printing.
We recommend that workstations print indirectly using a server
queue.
A printer is configured on an NT server in the same manner as
configuring a printer on an NT workstation except that on an NT
server, the printer is shared and assigned a queue name.
