Print server TCP/IP setup utility
It doesn’t matter which form of
the UAA you use (MSB or
canonical).
Information on installing,
using and troubleshooting the
utility resides on the CD.
You can use this simple utility to initialize the printer IP address if your
workstation is running Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT and is on the
same subnet as the printer. You need to know the 12-digit physical address of
the print server to use this method.
To install the utility, launch the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD, do a
custom install to add network support, and select Print Server TCP/IP Setup
Utility.
Once the IP address has been set (using any method), you can
use your browser to remotely view and manage the network
printer. Functions include viewing printer status in real time,
resetting the printer, changing settings, and so forth. Type the
print server IP address in the URL field of the browser (for
example, http: //192.168.236.24) and press Enter.
Step 2: Set up to print
There are many ways to send a print job, including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD,
point-to-point (LexIP) and various queue-based methods. Instructions for two
of the methods follow.
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server
If you are using Windows NT
Server 4.0 or later and
running TCP/IP, you can use
Network Plug and Print to
automate your printer setup
process.
This section explains the setup for queue-based printing where network users
print to a queue defined on a Windows NT server. The MarkNet print server
services this queue. To use this method, you must have at least one server
running Windows NT Server software and TCP/IP.
The following instructions apply to Windows NT Server versions 4.0 and later.
1 Install the TCP/IP software component on the server that contains the
print queue. This software is necessary to establish the link between the
MarkNet print server and the queue. Look on the Drivers, MarkVision and
Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom install to add network
support, and select TCP/IP.)
2 Set up a print queue on the server. Do this by creating a printer object.
a Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b When prompted, select My Computer (not Network printer server).
c Click Add Port.
d Select Lexmark Network Port, and then click New Port. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
e Share the queue.
