What Happens When
Printing?
During the installation of the print server, its host name is displayed
on the monitor of the computer intended for printing. In order for
you to be able to assign the host name to the IP address, the
computer asks the DNS server for the IP address of the print server.
If the DNS server cannot answer this request, it forwards the request
to the WINS server. Once the computer receives the answer, it sends
the print data to the IP address of the print server.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during
the print server installation. In this case, you can send print data
directly to the IP address. The configuration of a print server on a
DHCP server depends on the operating system.
WINS Without DHCP
You can set up the print server in a network only with WINS and
without DHCP. In this case, the print server registers with the WINS
server directly. In this process, you must configure the IP address of
the WINS server manually in the print server.
Requirements
To use WINS without DHCP, the following requirements are
necessary:
;
The 'DHCP' parameter has been disabled; see: ’TCP/IP’
;
The parameter 'WINS registration' has been disabled; see
;
The parameter 'WINS via DHCP' has been disabled; see
