Chapter 2:
Setting up
Network Servers
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers—
that share printing to the Fiery. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or
TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery. In addition, it includes
guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/
Server 2003 workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional.
This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the Fiery and run Fiery
utilities and Fiery WebTools.
The Fiery can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server
2003, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows or UNIX
workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not
discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
environment (see "Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/
Server 2003/Server 2003" in the following section).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, proceed to the
following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to
Fiery on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer is configured to connect
to the Fiery using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery. If the computer shares the
printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows clients. Client
computers print to the Fiery by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003
print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/
2000/Server 2003 server computer.
Typical system combinations are:
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 Server; clients running
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and Windows 98/Me
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and
clients running Windows 98/Me
