4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
Windows computer on the network, at the MS-DOS command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the Fiery IP address assigned in Fiery Network Setup.
After the Fiery is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to
the Fiery:
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as
Reply from <IP address> ...
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To
stop the output, type Control-C. You can use the ping command at any time.

O PRINT TO THE IERY
• On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the Fiery.
• On a UNIX system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use
the lp command to send a job to the Fiery.
• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send
print jobs to the Fiery from their applications or from a command prompt.
When Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 users print from applications, they can
set print options with the driver but not from the UNIX command line.

Managing print jobs

UNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and
for printing and removing jobs that are spooled on UNIX servers. If the network
includes a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation that has TCP/IP
protocols loaded, you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader not only
to view the list of jobs and to print and remove jobs but also to download fonts
and files directly to the Fiery. For more information on these job management tools,
see the Job Management Guide.
