Information 1.5 ... about the Saving of the IP Address in the Print Server TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the print server so that the device can be addressed within the network. Why IP Addresses? An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network. Depending on the network type the print server can also be addressed via alternative parameters such as the host name, the print server name, or the IPX address.
Information Saving the IP Address via the IP Wizard (InterCon-NetTool) The IP Wizard of the InterCon-NetTool helps you to configure the TCP/IP parameters, e.g. the IP address. You can easily enter the desired IP address and save it in the print server using the IP Wizard. Requirements ; The InterCon-NetTool is installed on the client, see: Print Server User Manual. ; By means of the InterCon-NetTool you can scan the network via Multicast, see: Print Server User Manual.
Peer-to-Peer Printing via NetBIOS 2 Peer-to-Peer Printing via NetBIOS In this chapter, the installation of the print server for peer-to-peer printing based on NetBIOS (SMB) in Windows systems will be described. In peer-to-peer networks all clients have the same rights and can share their resources with other computers. The print server acts as network connection for a printer which is independent of a client. The print data is transferred from the individual client to the network.
Peer-to-Peer Printing via NetBIOS • If TCP/IP has already been installed on your system, you may skip to the section ’Saving the IP Address in the Print Server’ Ö 14. 2.2 Saving the IP Address in the Print Server The print server must be known to the network via its IP address. We recommend using the IP wizard of the InterCon-NetTool in order to assign an IP address to the print server, see: Ö 12. 2.
Peer-to-Peer Printing via NetBIOS 2.4 Setting up the Printer A printer must be set up on the Windows system. For more information, please read the printer installation instructions in your Windows or printer user manual. 1. 2. 3. ª Troubleshooting Proceed as follows: Select the print server in the relevant workgroup or domain. Double-click the desired logical printer in Windows Me, 98 and 95. Right-click the desired logical printer in Windows NT. Follow the instructions of the installation routine.
IPP Printing (Windows Vista/XP/2000) 3 IPP Printing (Windows Vista/XP/2000) In this chapter the installation of your print server for IPP printing in Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 is described. The Internet Printing Protocol provides printing services via a network. In a client/server system, such as Windows Vista/XP/2000, the client sends a query to the print server. After transmision of the print data, the data is printed. The port 631 is used as socket for IPP printing.
IPP Printing (Windows Vista/XP/2000) The following description refers to the configuration in Windows 2000. Depending on your Windows system, the menu navigation can vary. For more information, please read the printer installation instructions in your Windows or printer user manual. Proceed as follows: 1. Select Printers from the 'Start' menu. 2. Double-click Add Printer. The 'Add Printer Wizard' appears. 3. Click Next. The following dialog appears: Fig.
