2-7 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP
Configuring Windows computers without a Windows 2000 server
If your network does not have a Windows 2000 server, Windows 2000/XP
workstations can still print to the EX7750. This method of printing is called
Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running
Windows 2000/XP workstations operate in a peer-to-peer environment and
communicate directly with the EX7750 when users send print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows 2000 server
also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present. The
prerequisites are summarized in the following list, and you can find more detail in your
Microsoft documentation.
• Print a Configuration page (see
on page 7-17).
Use the information on this page to determine the current EX7750 settings.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer. (For Windows 2000/XP load Client
for Microsoft Networks.)
• Verify the Workgroup name of the computer on the Network Identification tab in the
System Properties dialog box (Windows 2000), or the Computer Name tab in the
System Properties dialog box (Windows XP).
Make sure the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in EX7750 Setup.
• Ping the EX7750 to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see
address>" on page 2-18).
