Windows Peer to Peer Printing Configuration
Peer to Peer printing is available for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0.
What is Windows Peer to Peer Printing?
The peer to peer printing software which is included with the EcoLAN 3000E allows
Windows PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. Anetwork server,
such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer printing. The peer to
peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing.
Once the peer to peer printing software is installed, all EcoLAN 3000E boards on the
network automatically appear in the list of available printer ports.
The peer to peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers are
present, however, often the server print services are utilized instead. Server-based print
services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do not require software
(other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.
Peer to Peer Printing over IP or IPX
Peer to peer printing is available over both the IP and the IPX protocols. At least one of
these protocols must be installed before peer to peer printing may be used. It is assumed
that the IP protocol will be used only if the Windows PCs are already configured with IP
addresses; otherwise, the simpler to configure IPX protocol would most likely be used.
If Using Peer to Peer over IP
Configure the 3000E IP address with DHCP (page 16) or with the printer front panel
(page 19), then return to this section to complete peer to peer printing installation.
If Using Peer to Peer over IPX
The IPX protocol must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing over IPX.
The following instructions describe IPX protocol installation for Windows 95 or 98.
Windows NT 4.0 installation is very similar (check the Protocol tab for NWLink IPX/
SPX Compatible Transport).
1. Click on the Windows Start button and select Settings, Control Panel, Network.
2. Check to see if IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol is displayed on the list of network
components. If it is on the list, IPX is already installed. Please continue with the
next section. If it is NOT on the list, click on Add.
3. Double click on Protocol, click on Microsoft, and double click on IPX/SPX-
compatible Protocol. Windows will prompt for the required Windows disks.
4. Once the files are copied, click on OK to close the network control panel. Windows
will prompt to restart the system. IPX will not be active until the system is restarted.
Optional: Changing the Printer Name
IP Printer Name: Changing the printer name only applies to the IPX protocol. With IP
peer to peer printing the printer is identified by its IP address.
12
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
IPX Printer Name: The IPX peer to peer printing software uses the NetWare Print
Server Name to identify the 3000E. The default name is the serial number preceded
by KYO, e.g., KYO_163495. If desired, this name can be changed to a more easily
identifiable name with MAP. To change the name, follow the MAP Configuration
instructions in the NetWare Directory Services Configuration section in this guide (the
settings other than NetWare Print Server Name do not need to be entered).
Peer to Peer Printing Software Installation
The peer to peer printing software should be installed on each Windows PC that will
use peer to peer printing services.
1. Insert the CD included with the EcoLAN 3000E.
2. Click on the Windows Start button and select Run.
3. For IPX peer to peer printing, type: D:\IPX-P2P\SETUP.EXE and click OK.
For IP peer to peer printing, type: D:\IP-P2P\SETUP.EXE and click OK.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete installation.
Note: The IPX P2P installation program only installs a port monitor in the Windows
System directory and so does not prompt for an installation directory or program
group. IPX P2P may be uninstalled using the IPX-P2P Uninstaller on the CD.
Printer Driver Configuration for Peer to Peer Printing
1. If the Printer Driver is Not Already Installed.
ê Install the printer driver from the CD which is shipped with the printer.
ê On the Printer Connection screen select Local rather than Network. Depend-
ing upon the version of the installer and whether IP or IPX peer to peer is being
installed, the 3000E may appear in the list of local ports.
ê If displayed in the list, select the 3000E and complete the driver installation. If
not displayed in the list, select LPT1 and complete installation, then follow the
instructions in section 2 below.
2. If the Printer Driver isAlready Installed.
ê Click on the Windows Start button and select Settings, then Printers.
ê Right click on the appropriate printer driver and select Properties.
ê In Windows 95/98 select the Details tab and click on the down arrow beside
the Print to the following port: field to display the list of available ports. In
NT 4.0 select the Ports tab and scroll down the list of ports.
ê Select the 3000E from the list of ports and click on OK. IP printers are
displayed by IP address, IPX printers by NetWare Print Server Name.
Note: If IP printers on a different network segment are not displayed, your
router may not be forwarding SNMP broadcasts. If IPX printers are not
displayed, see Note: If the 3000E Does Not Appear on the List on page 8.
Peer to peer printing configuration is complete. Print jobs will now be directed to the
selected 3000E when the current printer driver is used.

Windows NT 4.0 Configuration
There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.
u
If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by following the
NetWare configuration instructions in this guide.
u
Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows Peer to Peer
Printing instructions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.0, not for
Windows NT 3.51. Peer to peer print services using the IPX protocol may be
preferable when TCP/IP setup is not desired.
u
LPR print services may be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in this
section.
Windows NT printing is very flexible. It is possible to configure the individual Windows NT
or Windows 95/98 workstations to print using a different protocol than the Windows NT
server. For example, a Windows NT server could be configured to print to a 3000E via
TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The 3000E could then be designated as
shared on the NT server, allowing workstations to print via the NT server using a
different protocol such as NetBEUI.
The optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends upon the particular environment
and user and administrator experience and preferences. Generally, the LPR printing
over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the best choice for environments
where TCP/IP is already in use.
TCP/IP Required Components
The following steps describe how to check for and, if necessary, add the Windows
TCP/IP components which are necessary for LPR Printing.
1. Click on the Windows Start button, select Settings, and Control Panel.
2. Double click on Network and select the Protocols tab. If TCP/IP Protocol is not
in the list of Network Protocols, click on Add to install it.
3. Select the Services tab. If either Microsoft TCP/IP Printingor Simple TCP/IP
Services is not in the list of Network Services, click on Add to install them.
4. Click on Close when all protocols and services have been added. If the TCP/IP
protocol has just been added, Windows will prompt for the IP address and other
TCP/IP parameters. The new protocols and services will not be available until the
system is restarted.
3000E TCP/IP Configuration
The 3000E must be configured for TCP/IP communication prior to LPR printing
setup.Configure the 3000E IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway with DHCP
(page 16), with the printer front panel (page 19), or with the MAP or BOOTPL32
procedures in the Users Manual.

Configuring the Printer Driver for LPR Printing
The printer driver should be installed from the CD which is shipped with the printer.
Unfortunately, Windows does not make theAdd LPR Port available to the Install Wizard
on the CD. Therefore, the printer driver should be installed selecting a standard port
such as LPT1. Once the driver installation is completed, the driver port setting should
be modified for LPR printing using the following procedure.
1. Click on the Windows Start button and select Settings, and then Printers.
2. Right click on the appropriate printer and select Properties.
3. On the Ports tab, click on Add Port.
4. Double click on LPR Port in the list of available printer ports.
5. In the Name or address of server providing lpd: field, enter the 3000E IP
address or the 3000E NetBIOS name (see the WINS Configuration section for
more information on using the NetBIOS name).
6. In the Name of printer or print queue on that server: field, enter any desired port
name, e.g. LPR1, and click on OK.
7. Click on Close to close the Printer Ports dialog. The 3000E IP address is now
displayed and currently selected on the list of ports.
8. If the printer is to be shared, click on the Sharing tab, select Shared and enter the
Share name. Click on OK when finished.
Connecting to a Shared Printer
This section briefly describes the steps for setting up client access to a shared printer.
Windows 95/98 Clients
Automatic printer driver installation from the NT machine: If a printer driver has been
designated for Windows 95 on the Sharing tab in Windows NT, it will be automatically
downloaded to the Windows 95 or 98 clients when they run theAdd Printer wizard,
select Network printer and browse the network for the shared printer.
If the printer driver is already installed: In Printers right click on the desired printer and
select Properties. On the Details tab, click the Add Port button and browse the
network for the shared printer.
If the printer driver has not yet been installed: Install the printer driver from the CD
which is supplied with the printer. On the Printer Connection screen select Network
and browse the network for the shared printer.

DHCP Configuration (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
IMPORTANT: EcoLAN 3000E IP address assignment with DHCP will not work if the
3000E has an existing IP address and IP persistence is Permanent.
DHCP provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including IP
address, subnet mask, etc. to devices (hosts) on an IP network. DHCP alleviates the
administrative burden of managing individual IP addresses.
A DHCP server processes 3000E DHCP Discovery broadcasts and returns an IP
address to the 3000E. The DHCP server may be set up to grant an IP address for a
limited time (a temporary lease) or for an unlimited time (an unlimited lease), or it
may be configured with a permanent address reservation for each 3000E.
With WINS, the DHCP server may be set up to grant the 3000E a temporary lease. In
a non-WINS environment, it is highly recommended to set up the DHCP server
to grant the 3000E an unlimited lease or permanent address reservation.
Unlimited Lease orAddress Reservation in Windows NT 4.0 (non-WINS DHCP setup)
In Windows NT, lease duration is set for a particular scope, or group of addresses.
Thus, lease duration should be set to Unlimited for the scope to which the 3000E
belongs. If this is not desired, then the 3000E should be defined as a Reserved Client.
A Reserved Client may be added with the Windows NT DHCP Manager by selecting
Scope and then Add Reservations. Enter the hardware address of the 3000E (see
the 3000E Network Status Page) and the IP address and other IP parameters.
IP Address Persistence
The 3000E defaults to an IP persistence of Permanent; that is, once an IP address is
entered, it is retained through power cycles. This is consistent with non-DHCP
maintained IP addresses, however, for DHCP with WINS the IP persistence should not
be permanent. Therefore, when an IP address is accepted via DHCP, the 3000E
IP persistence is automatically changed from Permanent to Temporary.
In a DHCP environment without WINS either permanent or temporary IP persistence
may be used. Permanent allows the 3000E to use its IP address even if the DHCP
server is down while the 3000E is powered up. To view or change the 3000E IP
persistence setting, see 3000E Configuration with HTML on page 17.
WARNING: If the 3000E IP persistence is set to Permanent and the DHCP server
assigns a temporary lease, the 3000E IP address may be assigned to another device
once the lease expires, resulting in two devices with the same IP address. Changing
or confirming the IP address with the printer front panel (by pressing Enter twice while
the IP address is displayed) automatically sets the IP persistence to Permanent.
Disabling DHCP
If IP address assignment with DHCP is not desired, it may be disabled using the
3000E Configuration with HTML procedure on page 17 and unchecking the Enable
DHCP check box. It may also be disabled with the printer front panel or the MAP utility.

WINS Configuration
(Windows Internet Naming Service)
WINS provides a mechanism for mapping NetBIOS (Windows) names to IP ad-
dresses. WINS enables defining a printing configuration which references the printer
by its name rather than by its IP address. Thus, even if the printer IP address is
changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will still be valid and printing will continue
uninterrupted. Another advantage of WINS is that a new printer may replace an old
printer simply by giving the new printer the same NetBIOS name as the old printer or
by entering the new printers NetBIOS name in the Windows printing configuration.
WINS Registration and Naming
The 3000E must be given the address of the primary WINS server where it will register
its NetBIOS name. It may optionally be given the address of a secondary WINS server.
The 3000E obtains its NetBIOS name and addresses of the WINS servers from the
DHCP server, or, if not obtained from the DHCP server, they must be manually
entered on the 3000E HTML configuration pages. If the 3000E NetBIOS name is not
obtained by either of these methods, then it will register its default name of
KYO_<serial #>, e.g. KYO_990442.
Refer to your DHCP server documentation for the proper procedures to provide the
3000E with its NetBIOS name and/or WINS server addresses, or refer to the following
procedure to manually configure these values.
3000E Configuration with HTML
1. Connect to the 3000E with a web browser by entering the IP address/tcpip as the
2. For DHCP with WINS, IP persistence should be Temporary; the check box next to
IP Address in NVRAM should be unchecked. If Permanent IP persistence is
desired, this box should be checked (see the warning on page 16).
3. If the WINS Server addresses will not be supplied via DHCP, enter the address of
the Primary NetBIOS Name Server and optionally the address of a Secondary
NetBIOS Name Server.
4. If the printer NetBIOS name will not be supplied via DHCP, enter a NetBIOS Name
for the 3000E or leave blank to use the default name of KYO_<serial #>.
5. Type the password, sysadm, in the appropriate box and click Accept Settings.
After a few seconds the screen should report that the update was successful.
6. Click on the Home link, then select 3000E Configuration.
7. Select Reset in the System column then click on Reset Unit.
Once all steps of this HTML configuration are completed and the 3000E has success-
fully registered with a WINS server, the word Registered will appear next to either
Primary or Secondary Server Registration on the TCP/IP configuration page. The
WINS registration is for a limited period, so the 3000E occasionally attempts to refresh
its WINS registration. Depending upon which WINS Server is active at refresh, the
indication of registered WINS server may change from time to time.

UNIX Configuration
UNIX printing utilizes a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct print jobs to the printer. The
3000E supports two modes of lpd printing, host-based lpd and printer-based lpd. With
host-based lpd, the line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations (hosts) where
print jobs are accepted and sent to the 3000E. With printer-based lpd, the 3000E acts as
the line printer daemon host and accepts print jobs directly. Many UNIX systems allow
either lpd mode to be used, although configuration may be easier for one of the modes
depending upon the UNIX system. Following are some advantages and disadvantages of
each mode:
Banner Page Comparison
The host-based lpd can include the user name and file name on the banner page, while
the printer-based lpd can only include the host name.
Configuration Comparison
The host-based lpd requires configuration on each host that will be sending jobs to the
printer, while the printer-based lpd requires only the 3000E to be configured.
3000E Configuration
TCP/IP configuration of the 3000E is needed for all versions of UNIX. Use the instructions
on page 19 to set TCP/IP parameters with the printer front panel or refer to the Users
manual for other TCP/IP setup methods. Lpd configuration depends upon the mode
selected and the UNIX system in use. Please refer to the Users manual for lpd configu-
ration instructions for your particular UNIX system.

7. Once all digits are set as desired, press theENTER key to accept the new address.
8. Repeat steps 5 - 7 for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway (the routers IP address). If
unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the first number in the 3000E IP address is
from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask.
9. When all settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are completed,
press the key to return to the Option submenu (TCP/IPis displayed).

Note: It is recommended to turn off protocols that are not in use, however, be aware
that the management and print capabilities which depend upon that protocol will no
longer function. E.g., if the Novell protocol (IPX) is turned off, then NetWare printing,
management with the MAP utility, and IPX Peer to Peer printing will all be disabled.
-
10. Optional: Press
+
or to display the protocol to turn off, e.g. EtherTalk. Press
-
the ENTER key and a ?will appear next to On. Press
