Configuring the Fiery and clients for Fiery WebTools
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for remote printer (or
rp
in the
/etc/printcap
file) in configuring the Fiery must be one of the following
:
print
hold
hold
The remote printer or
rp
name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0
workstation or server to connect to the Fiery over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer
name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0 printer, as the “Name of printer or print
queue on that (lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box (see
Getting Started).

Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique
32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an
address for the Fiery. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery
as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation
acting as a print server. Since the Fiery spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no
advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery. If you
choose to do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine
does not have its own spooling area.
