If you are a Windows

 user and want to print using the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment, please 

follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer 
driver which you will need to be able to print using your network printer.

Note

• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you have not 

configured the IP address, see 

Setting the IP address and subnet mask

on page 11 first.

• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly 

configured to pass data between the two devices.

• If you are connecting to a Nework Print Queue or Share (printing only), see 

Installation when using a 

Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only)
