2-5 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP
Installing the EX7750 as a shared printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver files, which give your
applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the
User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and
independently to the EX7750. However, if you are an administrator running a
Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000/XP workstation, you can also create a printer
and share it with clients on the network. This allows clients who do not have
permission to establish an independent network connection to the EX7750 to print
through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the EX7750 printer files.
If you have not yet installed the EX7750 printer files on the Windows 2000 print
server computer, do so now, following the instructions in the User Software Installation
Guide. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the EX7750.
If you have already installed the EX7750 printer files on the computer you are using as
a Windows 2000 print server, see your Windows documentation for information
about sharing the EX7750.
If more than one EX7750 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print
queue and the Hold queue are published), you may want to create a printer for each
print connection, so you and other users can print to each connection directly. When
prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the EX7750 print
connection.
