Register the IP address of the Fiery S300 in the host name database used by your system. For installations that do not have a network administrator or central host name database, add the Fiery S300 to the hosts ﬁle on the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server.
Page 29 2-5 Fiery S300 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Installing the Fiery S300 as a shared printer The ﬁrst step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver ﬁles, which give your applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the Fiery S300.
Page 30 2-6 Setting up Network Servers Conﬁguring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery S300 if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP computer.
Page 31 2-7 Fiery S300 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations can still print to the Fiery S300. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing.
Page 32: Fiery S300 On A Netware Network
2-8 Setting up Network Servers Fiery S300 on a NetWare network The NetWise ™ features built into the Fiery S300 support the following network operating environments: • NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services) • Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported.
Page 33: Tips For Experts-Ipx Networks
2-9 Fiery S300 on a NetWare network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery S300 is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The Fiery S300 with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the Fiery S300 consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.
Page 34: Conﬁguring A Netware Server For Printing
2-10 Setting up Network Servers You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however, you should restart the Fiery S300 after you create or remove a queue. When the Fiery S300 is conﬁgured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues.

Page 36 2-12 Setting up Network Servers Setting up an NDS connection In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context that deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Fiery S300, you are mainly concerned with deﬁning a printer, a print server object, and one or more Print queue objects.
Page 37 2-13 Fiery S300 on a NetWare network Setting up a NetWare Print queue for bindery For NetWare in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and the Fiery S300 Print queue are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory.

2-14 Setting up Network Servers Fiery S300 on a NetWare network with NDPS The Fiery S300 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery S300 takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services).
Page 39: Conﬁguring A Netware Server For Printing With Ndps
2-15 Fiery S300 on a NetWare network with NDPS Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS Before you begin The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x or later installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS.
