Preferred printing solution

Windows network
Use Windows printing through SMB to print directly to the printer from your
workstation(s).
If you experience problems connecting to the printer through SMB or if you
want to centralize printing on a server, you can install the printer on the
server (for example with a local connection to an lpr port) and then share it
to the rest of the network. This can be the case if your printer can be accessed
by an important number of clients.
TCP/IP network.
TCP/IP is common for Unix, Win 95/98/NT and OS/2 operating systems. For
Win 95/98 LPD is not standard and must be supplied by third parties. Contact
your local service organisation to check the availability of third party
shareware or freeware. Use LPD or FTP (in this preference order).
