The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) 
supports TCP/IP. The NIC appears to the network as a print 
server with its own IP address using the lpd line printer daemon 
protocol. Any host computer that supports the remote lpr 
command can spool jobs to the NIC. The NIC also supports 
gateways for communications with hosts on remote networks. For 
special applications, a raw TCP port is available. Kodak develops 
printing software and supports networked printing environments 
for Windows and Macintosh platforms. 

For Windows platforms, NT is the only platform that supports 
TCP/IP printing. Win95/98 systems do not support direct printing 
using TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose 
TCP/IP LPR printing software.

Macintosh systems use AppleTalk protocol for network 
communications and do not support TCP/IP printing without the 
addition of special purpose TCP/IP software.

•

Kodak does not develop printing software for Unix platforms. 
However, Kodak assists third-party developers who provide 
applications and printing software to support Kodak printers. 
Refer to the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) for information 
on third-party developer solutions.

•

Some customers who have Unix applications and drivers 
capable of generating PostScript output files may wish to 
submit these files to Kodak PostScript printers. 

•

General information for configuring printers on Unix platforms 
is provided to accommodate the use of lpr to send output files 
to Kodak printers. If you encounter problems, administrators 
should refer to the documentation for their specific Unix 
platform for configuring print queues. 

NOTE: Although generic PostScript files should print on Kodak 

PostScript printers, Kodak cannot guarantee the quality of 
output generated from non-Kodak drivers that may not 
support features such as calibration of Kodak printers.
