2-5 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
Installing the Fiery 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. However, if you are an administrator running a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server
2003 workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the
network. This allows clients who do not have permission to establish an independent
network connection to the Fiery to print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery printer files.
If you have not yet installed the Fiery printer files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/
Server 2003 print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in Chapter 1
of the User Software Installation Guide. During installation, enter the information
necessary to share the Fiery.
If you have already installed the Fiery printer files on the computer you are using as a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server, see your Windows documentation
for information about sharing the Fiery.
If more than one Fiery print connection is published (for example, if both the Print
queue and the Hold queue are published), you may want to create a printer for each
print connection, so that you and other users can print to each connection directly.
When prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the Fiery
print connection.
Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server
Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is already using a network
protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery if it has
been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or Windows NT 4.0/
2000/XP/Server 2003 computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same
network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server as the
server uses to communicate with the Fiery.
