Setting Up a Computer for Printing

After you have completed the protocol settings of the machine, you are ready to set
up each of the computers for printing.
■
Connecting to a TCP/IP Network
All computers that use the printer must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be
enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with the operating
system.
■ Installing the Printer Driver and Specifying the Printer Destination Setting
To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the
printer destination. The printer destination setting differs depending on the print
application used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the
print application you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.
• LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
This is the print application generally used with TCP/IP. See "Printer Connection Method
(LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-22 to install the printer driver and to specify the printer destination
setting.
• Raw
This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher speeds than
LPD. See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-22 to install the printer driver
and to specify the printer destination setting.
•
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
This is a print application that can be used with Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP. It uses the
HTTP protocol to print using internet/intranet connections. See "Printer Connection
(IPP)," on p. 2-33 to install the printer driver and specify the printer destination setting.
•
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
This is a print application that prints files by copying them to the printer using FTP client
software. For details, see "Printer Management," on p. 2-37.
