3-23 Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor
Installing the DocuColor as a shared PostScript printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer
driver and the DocuColor PPD (PostScript printer description), which gives your
applications access to printer features.
The installation instructions in Getting Started can be used for every workstation that
will print directly and independently to the DocuColor. However, if you are an
administrator running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation, you can
also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. When a printer is shared,
clients who are not able or are not given permission to establish an independent
network connection to the DocuColor have to print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the DocuColor printer
files. If you have not yet installed the DocuColor printer files on the Windows NT
print server computer, do so now following the instructions in the Getting Started.
During installation, enter the information necessary to share the DocuColor.
If you have already installed the DocuColor printer files on the computer you are using
as a Windows NT print server, use the following procedure to share the DocuColor.
TO MAKE THE DOCUCOLOR A SHARED POSTSCRIPT PRINTER ON A
WINDOWS NT 4.0 COMPUTER:
1. Click Start>Settings>Printers to open the Printers window.
2. Select the DocuColor.
3. Open the Properties dialog box (right-mouse click and choose Properties) and click
the Sharing tab.
4. Select Shared and enter a share name for the DocuColor.
Use a DOS-compliant share name if your network includes Windows for Workgroups
clients. Use a name that indicates the DocuColor queue if you wish to publicize that
information.
5. In the Alternate Drivers window, select all operating systems used by client worksta-
tions from which the print server will accept print jobs.
6. Click OK.
