Chapter 20 Printing by IP Peer-to-Peer from Windows 95/98/Me

Using IP Peer-to-Peer

This printing system employs a method which sends the print job directly to the print controller from the Win-
dows 95/98/Me compliant computer, not through the dedicated print server.
This is called peer-to-peer printing.
As peer-to-peer printing uses the network protocol TCP/IP, the network interface card must be set up for TCP/
IP in advance. For each of the Windows 95/98/Me computers that perform peer-to-peer printing, it is necessary
to set up TCP/IP, install and set up [IP-P2P] included in the accompanying CD-ROM, and set up the printer
driver.
●
Basic TCP/IP setup
Select [Network] from the [Control Panel] of a Windows 95/98/Me computer that uses the main body printer
via the network interface card to display the [Network] dialog box. Click the [Configuration] tab and make
sure that [TCP/IP] exists in the list of [The following network components are installed]. If it is not found, add
TCP/IP.
When [TCP/IP] exists in the [The following network components are installed] list, confirm the accuracy of
the values of the IP address, etc. Select [TCP/IP] and click the [Properties] button. The [TCP/IP Properties]
dialog box appears. Click the [IP Address] tab and confirm or define the TCP/IP address and subnet mask
assigned to the computer. Continue the setup procedure on another screen if necessary. Click the [OK] but-
ton to return to the Network dialog box.
Refer to Windows 95/98/Me Help or some other means to add TCP/IP.
Consult your network administrator to determine the values of parameters for the IP address. If
the IP address is inadequate, failures may occur in various locations in the network.
