Setting up Network Servers
Installing the Fiery X2 as a shared PostScript printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer
driver and the current Fiery X2 PPD (PostScript printer description), which gives your
applications access to some printer features.The installation instructions in Getting
Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to
the Fiery X2. However, if you are an administrator running Windows NT 4.0 Server
or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with
Windows NT 4.0 clients on the network. When a printer is shared, Windows NT 4.0
clients who are not able or are not given permission to establish an independent
network connection to the Fiery X2 can still print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery X2 printer files. If
you have not yet installed the Fiery X2 printer files on the Windows NT 4.0 print
server computer, do so now following the instructions in Getting Started. During
installation, enter the information necessary to share the Fiery X2.
If you have already installed the Fiery X2 printer files on the computer you are using as
a Windows NT 4.0 print server, use the following procedure to share the Fiery X2.
