6-6 Administering the GA-1040
Printer not found—TCP/IP or IPX networks
Most failures to find a printer on the network are due to conflicting or missing name or
address settings for the GA-1040. You must enter particular names in certain places.
The required names are:
• TCP/IP host name or DNS name, which is defined by the network administrator
and should be fewer than 10 characters long.
Enter the host name as the Server Name on the Touch Panel Display.
• Remote printer (internal machine) name.
Use either print or hold.
See Getting Started for more information on setting up the remote printer name for
Windows NT 4.0.
You must reconfigure one of the Fiery utilities on each workstation if you change the
TCP/IP host name or DNS name of the GA-1040. Check the following table for the
appropriate name to use.
