Attaching directly to the network (queue)
If you are using a Microsoft or Novell server and want to control who prints to the network
printer, attach the printer through a print queue on a server. The queue setup lets you
control the printer in a central location.
In this section you will:
•
Attach cables.
•
Print and check the network setup page.
•
Assign an IP address to the printer.
•
Verify the IP settings.
•
Set up the queue on the server.
•
Install printer drivers for all clients connected to the server.
Attach cables
Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
1
Plug one end of a standard category 5 cable into a LAN drop or hub, and the other end
2
into the Ethernet port (the top connector) on the back of the printer. The printer
automatically adjusts for the network speed.
