Installing the Fiery X3 as a shared PostScript printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer
driver and the Fiery X3 PostScript printer description file (PPD), which gives your
applications access to some printer features. The installation instructions in Getting
Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to
the Fiery X3. However, if you are an administrator running Windows NT 4.0 Server
or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with
Windows NT 4.0 clients on the network. When a printer is shared, Windows NT 4.0
clients who are not able or are not given permission to establish an independent
network connection to the Fiery X3 have to print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery X3 printer files. If
you have not yet installed the Fiery X3 printer files on the Windows NT 4.0 print
server computer, do so now following the instructions in Getting Started. During
installation, enter the information necessary to share the Fiery X3.
If you have already installed the Fiery X3 printer files on the computer you are using as
a Windows NT 4.0 print server, see your Windows documentation for information
about sharing the Fiery X3.
If more than one Fiery X3 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print
queue and the Hold queue are published), you may wish to create a printer for each
print connection so that you and other users can print to each connection directly.
When prompted to specify the printer name, you may want to enter a name that
indicates the Fiery X3 print connection.
