Windows Environment Description

The ethernet supports network printing under Windows environments by
using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT
protocol whereas with Windows 95/98
over TCP/IP.
The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT/2000 server to
be shared by Windows 95/98/Me clients. However, any Windows station can
also go directly to the ethernet.

Windows Ethernet Configuration

The IP address and subnet mask are mandatory TCP/IP settings and are
needed before the print server can be detected on the network. There are
also additional optional settings. This section offers alternative methods for
configuring your ethernet in a Windows environment and describes some of
the more common optional settings available.

Mandatory

Since TCP/IP is used for Windows printing, the ethernet must be configured
with a minimum of an IP address and subnet mask before it can be seen on
the network.
