SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS 18
SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS
To print from Windows computers, you or the administrator must perform the following
tasks if you want to set up a connection other than port 9100:
• Set up network servers, if any.
• Set up the Integrated Fiery Color Server to accept print jobs from your computer.
• Configure a port on each Windows computer for the network type.
Printing connections
The Integrated Fiery Color Server supports the following printing connections:
•SMB
• Standard TCP/IP (RAW or LPR)
• IPP or IPP over SSL
Completing the SMB printing connection
If your network does not have a Windows server, Windows computers can still print to the
Integrated Fiery Color Server. This method of printing is SMB printing (also known as
Windows or WINS printing). When users send print jobs, computers running Windows
operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Integrated Fiery
Color Server.
Enabling SMB printing allows the Integrated Fiery Color Server to be listed on the network,
so that Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Print queue, Hold queue,
or Direct connection) on the Integrated Fiery Color Server without using other networking
software. Windows printing runs via TCP/IP. You must configure TCP/IP on the Integrated
Fiery Color Server and on all computers that use SMB printing.
After you enable SMB printing on the Integrated Fiery Color Server, you can set up the
Windows or SMB connection and install the printer driver in one procedure. For more
information, see “Installing printer drivers by Point and Print” on page 8.
