8. Setting up the network server
Xerox DocuColor 2006
8–10
The Windows NT 4.0 hosts file provides compatibility with the
UNIX hosts file. The file is used as a local Domain Name Services
(DNS) equivalent. It has the same format as the /etc/hosts file on
the UNIX servers:
IP Address<TAB>hostname<TAB>#comments
where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.
To determine the IP Address and Server Name of your system,
print a configuration page from the DocuColor 2006 control panel.
Type the entry without any spaces, but substitute the values appropriate for
your environment. The host name should be the same name you gave to the
DocuColor 2006 in the Server Setup on the control panel.
A sample entry for the DocuColor 2006 as the remote printer is
127.0.0.1<TAB>DocuColor<TAB>#Marketing_printer
If the printer has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host
name database on a UNIX workstation on our network, you should use the
same host name that is used for the remote printer in the /etc/printcap file.
2.
Perform Printer Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup. Enter the values for the IP
Address of the printer, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
Installing the DocuColor 2006 as a shared printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the Adobe PostScript
printer driver files, which gives your applications access to some
printer features. For every workstation that will print directly and
independently to the DocuColor 2006, refer to the chapter
Installing
user software in a Windows environment
for the appropriate operating
system.
If you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0 server or
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 who are not given permission to
establish an independent network connection to the printer can still
print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer at any time. If you have not yet
installed the DocuColor 2006 printer files on the Windows NT 4.0 print
server, do so now.
If you have already installed the printer files on the Windows NT 4.0
server, refer to your Windows documentation for information about
sharing the server.
