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. In this type of network
environment, computers running Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
workstations operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with
the Fiery S300 when users send print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/
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
Use the information on this page to determine the current Fiery S300 settings.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 9x/Me, load

Microsoft Networks).
• For Windows 9x/Me, in the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network Properties
dialog box, specify Automatic or Enabled for Browse Master, and select Yes for
LM Announce.
• For Windows 2000/XP, in the Client for Microsoft Networks Properties dialog box,
configure the computer to allow file sharing, and then restart the computer.
• Ping the Fiery S300 to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see
page 7-9).
