Configuring the Print Server for TCP/IP B-3
Configuring the Print
Server for TCP/IP
To print via TCP/IP, the print server must be assigned a unique IP
address. Many companies are running a TCP/IP-based network to pro-
vide Internet services to their employees. In this case, it is a relatively
simple task for the network administrator to assign an IP address to the
print server TCP/IP port.
If you’re already using TCP/IP:
• Your network administrator must assign an IP address and subnet
mask to the print server, from the range of IP addresses assigned
to your company.
• If your network uses a DNS server, your network administrator may
also assign a host name to the print server.
• If supported by your network, use DHCP. In this case, it is not nec-
essary to specify an IP address and subnet mask.
You can use the following IP address and subnet mask when your
workstation is cabled directly to the print server’s network port, or if they
are both on a local area network:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.10
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
