Installing the Printer Driver as a TCP/IP Device on Your NT Server
Use this section to install the printer driver on your NT server using TCP/IP.
The printer installed on the NT server will receive jobs from clients on the
network, queue the jobs, and send the jobs to the printer.
To install the printer driver on the NT server:
1. From the Program Manager window, open the Print Manager.
2. Choose Create Printer from the Printer menu. The Create Printer dialog
box appears.
3. Enter a name for the printer. This name should be different from the name
of the printer itself. By default, the printer is named "IBMnetcolor", but you
may have changed this name when you configured the printer. The name
you choose now will be the name that appears in the NT server's Printers
window.
4. From the Driver pop-up menu, choose Other. Windows NT prompts you
to locate the printer driver.
5. Insert the Customer CD-ROM or the Windows Drivers diskette.
• If you are using the Customer CD-ROM , open the directory that
corresponds to your language, the WINNT directory, and the
DRIVERS directory. Click on the OK button.
The DRIVERS subdirectory includes a printer configuration file, the
Windows NT PostScript printer driver, and the printer PPD file.
• If you are using diskettes, insert the Windows Drivers diskette. Click
on the OK button
6. During driver installation, choose the IBM Network Color Printer.
When installation is complete, the driver name appears on the driver
menu of the Create Printer dialog box. The printer driver is installed and
configured with the printer PPD.
7. From the Print to pop-up menu, choose Other from the bottom of the list.
Click on the OK button. The Print Destinations dialog box is displayed.
8. Select LPR Print and click on the OK button. A dialog box appears.
9. Enter the IP address and name in the dialog box and press Enter.
10. In the printer dialog box, check the box to share the printer on the
network. The printer name is the default Share Name for Windows NT
clients. Change this name if you wish.
11. Click on the OK button. A new document log window is displayed, with
columns for Status, Doc Name, Owner, Printed At, Pages, Size, and
Priority.
Client PCs, workstations, or Macintoshes on the network print to the
printer by connecting to the queue on the Windows NT server. For
instructions on attaching a network client to the NT print queue, see the
section on that client operating system in the User's Guide .
