Configuring the SMB printing environment

8.3 Configuring the SMB printing environment

Overview

The SMB printing function is a function used to print data by directly specifying this machine on the compu-
ter. This machine is shared using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol.
If the WINS server is installed to resolve the name, register it.
Enabling the direct hosting SMB service allows communications using the IP address (IPv4/IPv6) or host
name. Enabling the direct hosting SMB service allows you to use the SMB printing function even in the IPv6
environment.
Using LLMNR (Link-local Multicast Name Resolution) enables you to resolve the name even in an environ-
ment with no DNS server. This function is supported in an operating system of Windows Vista or later (Win-
dows Vista/7/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2). It is useful to resolve the name in the IPv6 environment.
When using the SMB printing function, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.
