7 TCP/IP Configuration
TCP/IP NIC Configuration
This configuration procedure assumes you have an existing network and
TCP/IP attached to a Windows 95/98/NT, Unix, or other machine.
You will configure network printing by adding the necessary TCP/IP values to
the NIC and associating the Print Server as an output port for a Windows
printer on a 95/98/NT client or server, or to a print queue or logical printer in
Unix, AS/400
, or HP e3000.
Before You Begin
1. You must obtain the IP address and subnet mask to be used for the NIC.
In addition, a gateway value may be needed. A gateway is a device that
knows how to find other TCP/IP devices on other sections of the network
that may need to know about the P5000LJ printer.
2. The NetBEUI/NetBIOS protocol may be used to define the network port
for a Windows printer, for example. (Use the following sequence: Start,
Settings, Printers, Add, network printer, network path or queue name...)
NetBEUI/NetBIOS does not route, which means you must use it on a
single network segment, but this setup is ideal for a single network or a
small network.
