Setting up TCP/IP printing

TCP/IP provides network services for high-speed local and wide area networks and heterogeneous environments including PC compatibles, Macintosh computers, minicomputers, and mainframes running diverse operating systems. The printer supports the lpr protocol for printing over TCP/IP networks. Network users submit print jobs to a named printer. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server.

Before you install the printer on a TCP/IP network, you need to obtain a unique Internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator for this information.

1-5 Setting up TCP/IP printing

•

Setting up the printing environment

To set up printing on a TCP/IP network, the network administrator must follow these steps:

Specify the appropriate settings in the I/O Port Setup and Network Setup menus.

The administrator can enter a valid IP address for the printer, and the gateway address and subnet mask if they are used. Alternatively, you can set an Automatic IP Address. For information on I/O Port Setup and Network Setup see “Setting up the printer” on page 2-3.

If the site is using NIS (Network Information Services), a superuser must add the printer name and IP address to the system’s database of network printers.

Add the printer to the network’s IP host table.

This step must be performed on the master NIS (server) machine. After adding the printer entry, the updated database must be released to network users.

•

For the printer name, specify the print server protocol, the print connection (queue), and the spool ﬁle.

• Activate the printer connection. Depending on your system, you may restart the printer daemon or tell the printer

to accept print requests.

Verifying the TCP/IP network connection

Before a device on a TCP/IP network can send print jobs to the printer, the printer must have a valid IP address, and a gateway address and subnet mask, if applicable. The printer is given these addresses in Network Setup.

The printer is shipped from the factory with an invalid IP address assigned in Setup. The IP address is used on all T CP/IP networks and must always be assigned before the printer can be veriﬁed across the network.

The Setup also provide options to change the subnet mask and gateway address. Only some customer sites will require these values to be entered in Setup.

1-6 Connecting the Printer to a Network

The following procedure enables you to verify that there is a proper connection between the printer and the network without using the printer driver to print a test page. Before you begin this procedure, verify that the printer is functioning by printing a Conﬁguration Page from the printer’s operation panel.

For step by step instructions, see “Printing additional pages” on page 2-28.

Once the printer’s TCP/IP setup is complete, you can verify the availability of the printer using the ping command from the DOS prompt with Windows 95/98, or from the Command prompt with Windows NT.

TO VERIFY THE TCP/IP CONNECTION:

•

To see if the printer responds to its address, use the ping command.

Use the format:

ping <IP address>

Use the printer IP address listed on the Conﬁguration Page. After the printer has been given a hostname by your network administrator , you can also you gave it:

ping <hostname>

The server should respond with a message such as:

<IP address> is alive.

Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To stop the output, type Control-C.

Setting up TCP/IP clients for printing

If the printer is being added to an existing network, each TCP/IP client is already running TCP/IP client software. This printer supports TCP/IP client software on PC compatibles and Macintosh computers. With Macintosh computers how ever, it is easier to use the built-in AppleTalk protocol to communicate directly with the printer.

ping the name

1-7 Setting up TCP/IP printing

If the client workstation is a PC running Windows, set up the printer as a Windows PostScript printer by installing the PostScript printer driver or as a Windows PCL printer by installing the PCL printer driver, as described in Chapter 3. For setting up your networking software, see the documentation for your networking environment.

Setting up TCP/IP clients for running Fiery WebTools

Fiery WebTools software comes pre-installed on the printer. Fiery WebTools include: W ebS etup , WebSpooler , S tatus, WebDownloader, and WebLink.

NOTE: WebDownloader is available on Windows computers only. WebSpooler is

available only for printers with an optional hard disk drive installed. When TCP/IP is enabled for the printer in Network Setup, Fiery WebTools are

immediately available to clients that:

• Are connected to a TCP/IP network with a consistent set of IP addresses, one

for the printer and one for each computer connected to the printer

• Have an Internet connection and a Java enabled Web browser

The recommended browsers are:

• for Macintosh computers, Netscape Navigator 4.06 and later,

• for Windows computers, Netscape Communicator 4.06 and later or Microsoft

Internet Explorer 4.x and later.

NOTE: Windows NT 4.0 users must download the Windows NT 4.0 Service

Pack 3 or later in order to run the W ebD ownloader with Netscape Communicator

4.06.

Netscape and Microsoft continue to release fr equent updates to their bro wsers. As support can not be guaranteed for all versions, use the versions speciﬁed above for best results.

To access Fiery WebTools, enter the IP address or DNS name of the printer as a URL in the Internet browser. For more information, see the User’s Guide.

1-8 Connecting the Printer to a Network

Setting up IPX (Novell) printing

The software built into the Fiery 500 supports the following network operating environments:

• NetWare 4.x—Novell Directory Services (NDS)

• NetWare 3.12—Bindery services

• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell ﬁle server running NetWare

3.12, or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery 500 through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in Chapters 3 and 4.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and

active cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

The Fiery 500 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows, Windows NT 4.0. NetW are clients on M acintosh or Windows NT 4.0 computers can print via the NetWare server.

The Fiery 500 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet network topologies. During Fiery 500 setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery 500 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are speciﬁed in a startup ﬁle when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

conﬁgured simultaneously.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery 500

NetWare ﬁle servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare ﬁle server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation.

The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection and the Print, and Hold queues on the F iery 500. The N etWare queue names should be given an extension corresponding to the Fiery 500 queue, as follows:

_direct _hold _print

NOTE: The extension names must be in all lowercase and must be in English. The

Print and Hold queues are enabled only if your printed has an optional hard disk drive installed.

There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however you should initialize these settings by turning the printer off and on after a queue is created or removed.

1-10 Connecting the Printer to a Network

When the Fiery 500 is conﬁgured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Hold to Hold, Direct to Direct. While a job is processed and printed, a r ecord of the job is being created.

If your printer has an optional hard disk drive, you can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare ﬁle server so that networked users can print to the Fiery 500 from their workstations, and the Fiery 500 can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.

For each NetWare ﬁle server that you conﬁgure, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections and in your NetWare documentation.

• Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

• Log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare ﬁle server.

• For NetWare 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 1-12).

• For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 1-12).

• For NetWare 3.12 and for NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle

server, a print server, and a print queue for the Fiery 500 (see page 1-13).

With bindery services, you can route all Fiery 500 print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle Fiery 500 jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, on the Fiery 500, and on the client workstation, are summarized in the following tables. The ﬁrst table applies to NDS connections, the second to bindery connections.

Complete the operations in the left column, then the center column, then the right column.

1-12 Connecting the Printer to a Network

Setting up an NDS connection

In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context which deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Fiery 500 you are mainly concerned with deﬁning a printer, a print server object and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or NetWare Administrator.

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers (which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects). Access to objects is controlled by rights that are deﬁned as properties of each object. Rights are established by network administrators.

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery 500. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation, which causes the 4.x server to behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.12 server.

NOTE: The ﬁle server selected must not be in the same tree as that selected in NDS

Setup.

Up to eight bindery servers, whether in native 3.12 mode or in 4.x emulation, can connect to the Fiery 500.

If your server is using NetWare 3.12, proceed to “Setting up a Fiery 500 print queue for bindery” on page 1-13.

In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Fiery 500, the network administrator must do the following:

• Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print

server and the print queue for the Fiery 500 will be created. The container deﬁnes the “bindery context” for your network structure.

• Edit the network startup ﬁle to set the bindery context.

• Activate the new bindery context.

1-13 Setting up TCP/IP printing

Setting up a Fiery 500 print queue for bindery

For NetWare 3.12 and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWare print server and print queue for Fiery 500 are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, ﬁrst you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup on the Fiery 500 operation panel.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, make sure you perform Network Setup on the Fiery 500 (see “Setting up the printer” on page 2-3), and that the settings reﬂect the entities you created in the NetWare administrator utilities (see page 1-10).

NOTE: For printing to the Fiery 500, connect all Windows clients to a Novell

NetWare server and permit them to connect to the server or servers on which you deﬁned a Fiery 500 queue.

After the Novell server and the Fiery 500 have been set up, client setup consists of:

• Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and

permitting the client to log in to the NetWare ﬁle server. On Windows 95/98 workstations, both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and

the Client for NetWare Networks should be loaded from the Network Control Panel. On Windows NT 4.0 workstations, Client Service for NetWare should be installed. Use the CSNW option in Control Panel to set printing options and specify a preferred NetWare server.

• Setting up the Fiery 500 as a PostScript or PCL printer by installing a

PostScript or PCL printer driver and the Fiery 500 PPD or PDD (PostScript or PCL printer description ﬁle).

• Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more

NetWare queues that have been deﬁned for the Fiery 500.

• Installing other optional client software, such as Color Reference ﬁles.

1-14 Connecting the Printer to a Network

Using AppleTalk with Macintosh computers on an IPX (Novell) network

Macintosh users on an IPX network can print to the printer in two ways:

• Directly, using AppleTalk and bypassing the NetWare server

• Through a NetWare server running NetWare for Macintosh

Since the printer supports both AppleTalk and IPX protocols at the same time, it’ s not necessary to use the second option. However, a network administrator may choose to route all print jobs through a server.

NOTE: The printer can be attached to only one NetWare server at a time.

Printing directly to the printer

Due to the layered design of networks, data can be transmitted using more than one network protocol. When Macintosh computers are connected to an IPX network, they can continue to transmit data over Ethernet cable using AppleTalk protocols. If the printer is on the same network, Macintosh computers can see and print to the printer, provided that AppleTalk is enabled on the Macintosh and in Network Protocol Setup.

Setting up SMB printing with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT

If you do not have a Novell network, you can print to your printer over your network via SMB (Server Message Block) printing, also known as WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) printing. Check with your network administrator to determine whether SMB printing is appropriate for your network environment.

To enable this type of communication you need to setup SMB printing on the printer, and depending on your network conﬁguration, you may also need to specify additional settings in your computer’s Network Control Panel.

For example, if your computer and the Fiery 500 are on different subnets, to establish communication between the devices you need to enable WINS Resolution, or if a DHCP server is used at your site, DHCP (Dynamic Host

1-15 Setting up TCP/IP printing

Conﬁguration Protocol) WINS Resolution. These options can be found in the TCP/IP Properties, WINS Conﬁguration tab of the Network Control Panel. See the documentation that came with your operating system for details.

The following procedure describes how to set up the printer for printing using SMB. Specify settings in the SMB Setup menus on the printer’s operation panel. Instructions on how to specify a network port to print to using the Details tab of the Printer Properties dialog follow.

NOTE: You need to enable the TCP/IP network connection before you setup the

printer for SMB printing.
