2-1 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows 2000s—that share printing to the
EX7750. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for
communicating with the EX7750. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up
direct communication from Windows 2000/XP workstations or UNIX workstations,
where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for
users to print to the EX7750 and run Fiery utilities and WebTools.
The EX7750 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare and Windows 2000s, as
well as jobs sent directly from Windows 2000/XP or UNIX workstations. Because
AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not discussed in this
chapter, except for use in a Windows 2000 environment (see the following section,
“EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP”).
If your network is based on Windows 2000, proceed to the following section.
For information about UNIX workstations, proceed to “EX7750 on a network with
UNIX workstations” on page 2-16.
EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP
When a Windows computer is configured to connect to the EX7750 using TCP/IP, it
can print directly to the EX7750. If the computer shares the printer over the network,
it is acting as a print server to Windows clients. Client computers print to the EX7750
by printing to the Windows print server. You can then monitor and control printing at
the Windows computer.
