The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0
Workstation, Windows NT 4.0 Server, or Windows 2000 Professional computer to

Windows NT 4.0 printer, as the "Name of printer or print queue on that (lpd host)

Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique

as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation
acting as a print server. Since the Fiery spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no
advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery. If you
choose to do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine
does not have its own spooling area.
