Using a Host Name Instead of an IP Address
When using DNS
Use the host name set for the data file on the DNS server.
When setting the IP address of a printer using DHCP
Use the “Printer name” on the Configuration Page as the host name. For more
information about printing a configuration page, see “List/Test Print”, Printer
Reference.
In other cases
Add the IP address and host name of the network printer to the hosts file on the
computer used for printing. Methods of addition vary according to the operat-
ing system.
Windows 95/98/Me
A Copy to the same \WINDOWS\HOSTS.SAM directory and name it
“HOSTS” (no extension required).
B Open the \WINDOWS\HOSTS file you created using Memo Pad or other
applications.
C Add an IP address and a host name to the hosts file in the following format:
192.168.15.16 host # NP
“192.168.15.16” is the IP address, “host” is the printer's host name, and “#” to
the end are comments. Separate each item with a space or tab, and use only
one line.
D Save the file.
Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows NT 4.0
A Open the hosts file using Memo Pad or other applications.
The hosts file is in the following folder:
\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS
\WINNT is the directory of the installation destination for Windows
2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0.
