DocuColor 40 CP on a network with UNIX workstations
Mac OS users can print directly to the DocuColor 40 CP and should install the
AdobePS printer driver for the Mac OS and the DocuColor 40 CP PPD. All of these
installations are described in Getting Started.
For the Windows NT 4.0 computers, install the Windows NT 4.0 PostScript Printer
driver and the DocuColor 40 CP PPD. Windows 95 and Windows 3.1x clients should
use the Adobe PostScript Printer driver supplied with the DocuColor 40 CP user
software.
DocuColor 40 CP on a network with UNIX workstations
When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol, and connected to the
DocuColor 40 CP over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the
DocuColor 40 CP.
Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the
initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.
The DocuColor utilities and WebTools are not available on the UNIX platform. A
Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or Mac OS computer on the same network as the
UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the DocuColor 40 CP
can use WebSpooler and the DocuColor utilities to manage print jobs that originate
from all workstations on the network.
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the DocuColor 40 CP in a UNIX environment has the same requirements
as setting up any printer or new device:
•
A distinct IP address is needed for the DocuColor 40 CP as well as for each workstation
on the network.
•
You select a DocuColor 40 CP name that goes with the IP address.
•
The IP address of the DocuColor 40 CP must be registered for the network in a host
database, and also on the DocuColor 40 CP itself.
