Step 4: Configure
the network printer
After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP settings, you are
ready to configure the printers attached to the print server and set up
your network clients to print to them.
Windows In Windows environments, your network printers can be configured
for direct printing or for shared printing.
Supported printing methods
• Direct IP printing—when you want to print directly to a printer
on your network
• Shared printing (point and print, and peer-to-peer)—when you
need to centrally manage network printers
Detailed information about using each of these printing methods is on
the drivers CD. Click View Documentation and look for information
about network printer installation.
Supported network printer ports
• Microsoft IP port (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP)
• Lexmark network port (Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
Note: Using a custom printer
driver and a custom network
port provides enhanced
functionality, such as printer
status alerts.
Supported printer drivers
• Windows system printer drivers
• Lexmark custom printer drivers
System drivers are built into Windows operating systems. Custom
drivers are available on the drivers CD.
Updated system and custom drivers are available on Lexmark’s Web
site at www.lexmark.com.
