Setting up Windows Print Server 13Setting up Windows Print ServerIf a Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 computer is con-nected to this equipment using TCP/IP, it can print directly to this equipment. If the computershares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server for Windows clients. The clientmachines print to this equipment by printing to the Windows print server. Printing can then bemonitored and controlled at the Windows print server machine.The Windows print server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to this equipment as analternative to TCP/IP. When creating a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not “capture” theprinter. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server rather than directly to theprinter. If you capture the printer, this equipment print connections will not appear in the Mac OSChooser.Configuring the Windows Print ServerTo configure a Windows print server to communicate with this equipment, follow these generalsteps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.y Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address, subnetmask, and gateway.y Make sure the Microsoft TCP/IP printing service is installed, and that the computer is usingRaw TCP or LPR printing.y On the Windows print server, install the appropriate printer drivers (if necessary) and sharethe printer on the network.P.13 “Installing the Printer Drivers as Shared Printers”y Configure clients for printing to the printer shared by the Windows print server.P.14 “Setting up the Clients”Installing the Printer Drivers as Shared PrintersFirst, install the Windows printer drivers. The installation instructions in the Printing Guide canbe used for every computer that will print directly and independently to this equipment. However,if you are an administrator running Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Win-dows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003, you can also cre-ate a printer and share it with clients on the network. When a printer is shared, clients who arenot able or are not given permission to establish an independent network connection to thisequipment can print through the server.If you have not installed the printer files on the Windows print server computer, do so now follow-ing the instructions for Raw TCP or LPR printing in the Printing Guide. Then, or if you havealready installed the printer files on the computer you are using as a Windows print server, seeyour Windows documentation for information about sharing the printer.In addition, the printer files for every Windows version can be installed to the shared printer sothat Windows clients can use the shared printer as a Point and Print printer, which enables cli-ents to download the appropriate printer driver from the shared printer.y When installing the printer driver to Windows NT 4.0 clients from the Windows NT 4.0 printserver, please check the “Always spool RAW datatype” box on the Print Processor dialogbox (displayed by clicking the [Print Processor...] button on the General tab of printer proper-ties dialog box of the shared printer on the Windows NT 4.0 print server).y When installing the Windows 2000 PCL printer driver to the Windows 2000 server, you mustclear the “Enable advanced printing features” check box on the Advanced tab of the printerproperties dialog box.
