Setting Up Windows Print Server; Configuring The Windows Print Server - Toshiba Multifunctional Digital System GA-1190 Network Administration Manual

Setting up Windows Print Server

If a Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista
computer is connected to this equipment using TCP/IP, it can print directly to this equipment. If
the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server for Windows client
computers. The client computers print to this equipment by printing to the Windows print server.
Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows print server machine.
The Windows print server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to this equipment as an
alternative to TCP/IP.
When creating a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not "capture" the printer. Capturing the
printer forces all users to print to the server rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the
printer, this equipment print connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.

Configuring the Windows print server

To configure a Windows print server to communicate with this equipment, follow these general
steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.
Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway.
Make sure the Microsoft TCP/IP printing service is installed, and that the computer is using
Raw TCP or LPR printing.
On the Windows print server, install the appropriate printer drivers (if necessary) and share
the printer on the network.

Configure client computers for printing to the printer shared by the Windows print server.
P.34 "Setting up the client computers"
Installing the printer drivers as shared printers
First, install the Windows printer drivers. The installation instructions in the Printing Guide can
be used for every computer that will print directly and independently to this equipment. However,
if you are an administrator running Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Win-
dows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista,
you can also create a printer and share it with client computers on the network. When a printer is
shared, client computers who are not able or are not given permission to establish an indepen-
dent network connection to this equipment can print through the server.
If you have not installed the printer files on the Windows print server computer, do so now follow-
ing the instructions for Raw TCP or LPR printing in the Printing Guide. Then, or if you have
already installed the printer files on the computer you are using as a Windows print server, see
your Windows documentation for information about sharing the printer.
In addition, the printer files for every Windows version can be installed to the shared printer so
that Windows client computers can use the shared printer as a Point and Print printer, which
enables client computers to download the appropriate printer driver from the shared printer.
When installing the printer driver to Windows NT 4.0 client computers from the Windows NT
4.0 print server, please check the "Always spool RAW datatype" box on the Print Processor
dialog box (displayed by clicking the [Print Processor...] button on the General tab of printer
properties dialog box of the shared printer on the Windows NT 4.0 print server).
When installing the Windows 2000 PCL printer driver to the Windows 2000 server, you must
clear the "Enable advanced printing features" check box on the Advanced tab of the printer
properties dialog box.
