printer on the network.
4. See the documentation that came with Windows NT for instructions on
creating a printer on the NT server with which to provide print services to
a token-ring-attached network printer.
5. Have each end user install the PostScript Level 2 Printer Driver on his or
her client PC, workstation, or Macintosh. Instructions are in the User's
Guide . The User's Guide also contains instructions for installing the
utilities; however, users on a token-ring network should not do so
because the utilities are not supported over the parallel port.
You have completed the steps for attachment using a protocol adapter. You

Color Printer" on page 6–1.
Directly Attach Your Windows NT Server to the Printer Parallel Port
To do so, follow these steps
1. Use a parallel cable to attach the printer to the server. To assure FCC
compliance, use IBM part number 68x3949. Other parallel cables,
although they may work, may not comply with FCC regulations.
With this configuration, the Spooler and Downloader utilities

cannot communicate with the printer.
2. See "Configuring the IBM Network Color Printer" on page 6–1, and use
the information there to enable the printer's parallel port and connect it to
one of the printer's internal queues. The Print queue is the recommended
choice.
3. See the documentation that came with Windows NT for instructions on
creating a printer on the NT server with which to provide print services to
a parallel-attached printer.
4. Have each end user install the PostScript Level 2 Printer Driver on his or
her client PC, workstation, or Macintosh. Instructions are in the User's
Guide . The User's Guide also contains instructions for installing the
utilities, however users on a token-ring network should not do so because
the utilities are not supported over the parallel port.
You have completed the procedure for parallel attachment. You can skip

Printer" on page 6–1.
A Windows NT server can be configured to provide printing services to
networked Windows, Windows for Workgroup, Windows 95, and Macintosh
clients. You can either attach the server to the printer using the AppleTalk
communication protocol or the TCP/IP communication protocol.
Configuring an NT network includes configuring the NT server to work with
the printer, configuring the printer to work with the NT server, and configuring
the client PCs, workstations, and Macintoshes to use the printer.
