NetBIOS over IP Peer to Peer Printing

Before You Start

1. Obtain the Print Driver for your workstation's operating system. Drivers are available on one of the
CD-ROMs that came with your Device. They are also typically available for downloading in self-
extracting Zip file format from the Internet at www.xerox.com.
2. Print a Configuration Report as stated under the Network Connectivity Tab of this guide.
3. On the Configuration Report, verify that "SMB" is enabled. Also, verify that TCP/IP is enabled as
one of the supported protocols. Verify that the workgroup's default name is Workgroup, or a valid,
15 character maximum, workgroup name. Also note the Device's SMB Host Name (which assures
the uniqueness of the Device's name within the Workgroup). To enable "SMB," if required, follow the
procedure stated under the Microsoft (NetBIOS over IP) item of the NOS Selection menu, accessed
from the Network Connectivity Tab of this guide. To modify the name of the Workgroup, or Device's
name (SMB Host name) within the workgroup, use your workstation's Web browser to access the
Internet Services (Web Pages) residing in the Device, as described under the Configure SMB menu
item, under the Internet Services Tab of this guide.
4. Make sure to configure the DNS/WINS Server(s) for NetBIOS name to IP address resolution. Then
provide the Device with the addresses of the Servers as stated in the Configure TCP/IP Settings
procedure of the Internet Services section of this guide.

An Alternate Procedure for Setting up NetBIOS over IP Peer to Peer Printing

EXPERIENCED SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATORS can use the following procedure:
1. On Windows 2000 and XP workstations, from the "Properties selection" of the "Local Area
Connection" icon, verify that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed. Select the protocol and click
Properties. Verify that TCP/IP is configured for use of the DNS Server. Click the Advanced button
and select the DNS Tab. Verify that the checkbox labeled "Register this connection's addresses in
DNS" is checked. Select the WINS Tab and verify that the NetBIOS setting is set to either "Use
NetBIOS Setting from the DHCP Server," or that "NetBIOS is enabled over TCP/IP." Click Cancel
twice and verify that the Client for Microsoft Networks is installed. Finally, with your Operating
System Installer Disk readily available, through Add/Remove Programs and Add/Remove Windows
Components, select Other Network File and Print Services. Click Details, check the box for Print
Services for Unix, and click OK and Next.
2. When prompted for the "Name or address of server providing lpd" enter in the Device's SMB Host
Name as seen on the Device's Configuration Report.
3. When prompted for a queue name, enter in your preference of an easily-identified name for this
Printer.
4. Install the Print driver on your workstation and, when prompted to select a port to print through, select
the LPR port that you just created.
5. Print a Test Print to verify successful communications with the printer.
