Step 10: Configure for TCP/IP If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an IP address to the printer. Assigning a printer IP address If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer. 1 Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on page 32. 2 Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 33 and begin with step 2.
Step 11: Install drivers for network printing After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP settings, you are ready to install the printer on each network computer. Windows In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both network printing methods require the installation of a printer driver and the creation of a network printer port.
