The print-control utility can also change the configuration of a print server that is
located on a remote TCP/IP subnet. The print server must initially be configured
with an IP address from a PC running PrintControl that is located within the same
TCP/IP subnet as the print server. After this step is completed, the print server
may be moved to a remote location.
There are two ways to change the configuration of an print server that is located on
a remote TCP/IP subnet. The first is to have the exact IP address of the print
server.
The second is to scan the remote TCP/IP subnet where the print server is located.
To do this, you will need to have the “subnet mask” and an IP address of any device
on that subnet (the device does not have to be an print server). Obtain this
information from your network manager. With these two pieces of addressing
information, the PrintControl utility can scan the remote TCP/IP subnet and find
all print servers on that subnet.
The following steps will guide you through selecting a remotely or locally attached
print server:
1. From the menu bar in PrintControl, select the VIEW option.
2. Select the SCAN option.
• To scan for a specific print server located on a remote TCP/IP subnet:
a. Check the radio button to the left of the “Scan for a Single Print Server”
option.
b. Enter the IP address of the print server in the “IP Address” field. You
may view the last eight addresses entered in this field by clicking on the
down arrow. If the desired IP address is listed, click on that entry.
c. Click OK.
• To scan a remote TCP/IP subnet for all print servers located on that
subnet:
a. Check the radio button to the left of the “Scan a Remote Subnet”
option.
b. Enter the address of any device in the remote TCP/IP subnet in the “IP
Address” field. You may view the last eight addresses entered in this
field by clicking on the down arrow. If the desired IP address is listed,
click on that entry.
