Lexmark E320/E322 Printer

Print servers connect printers to networks. This lets many users access printers from their

own workstations, a very cost effective way to share powerful and expensive printers. It is not

necessary to buy an extra personal computer to attach each printer to the network. You use

the print server instead.

Environments we support

Print servers support an extraordinarily wide range of network environments.

Any single print server on any given physical network can accept and process print jobs from

any or all of these logical networks concurrently. For example, if a MarkNet XI physically

attaches a printer to an Ethernet network, then a NetWare client and an AppleTalk user can

send print jobs to the printer simultaneously. The print jobs are processed on a first-come,

first-served basis.

Connect the hardware

Instructions on connecting the Ethernet cable to your Lexmark E320n Printer can be found in

the printer Setup Book. To view the Setup Book from this CD, click the Home icon Other

Resources PDFs for Printing Setup Guide.

Print a network setup page

Push the operator panel button with a brief button press to print a network setup page

showing the physical address of the network printer. A printer settings page prints first and

after a few moments a network setup page prints. Save the network setup page because you

will use it later.

Configure and print

TCP/IP

Step 1: Set the IP address, netmask and gateway

You must assign an IP address, netmask and gateway to the print server in order for other

network devices to find it on the network.

•If you have DHCP, the proper addresses are automatically assigned. To verify the

assignment has happened, print a network setup page and make sure the IP address,

netmask and gateway appear as non-zero.

•If you don’t have DHCP, there are other methods you can use to manually assign the

address, such as static ARP and telnet, or a setup utility.

DHCP

This method automatically sets the IP address, netmask, gateway, host name, and WINS

server using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The DHCP server or a

forwarding agent must be attached to the same IP subnet as the print server. Make sure the

DHCP server has scope defined for the subnet.

Ensure that the DHCP server provides the following options:

If you are using a WINS server, telnet to port 9000 to set the print server host name.

Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility

The Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility is a simple way to set the IP address and other

important IP parameters in a print server. You can set up one or many print servers using this

method with no need to physically visit the printers.

001 Netmask Netmask for IP subnet

003 Router IP address of router (such as 9.10.8.250)

044 WINS/NBNS Server IP address of WINS server

Requirements

You must run the Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility on a Windows 95/98/Me,Windows NT 4.0,

or Windows 2000 workstation.

The print server must be on the same physical subnet as your workstation. In other words,

the Print Server Setup Utility cannot cross routers, bridges, and so forth.

Installation

1Launch the drivers CD.

2Click Install Software, Printer Software.

3Click Custom Install when you see this option.

4Select Network Support, and then click Next.

5On the Network tab, select Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility, and then Finish

Installation.

Static ARP entry and telnet

To set the print server IP address, netmask, and gateway using this method, you add a static

entry to the ARP table on some computer that is on the same IP subnet as the print server.

(Source Route bridging is not supported.) Then, you use telnet.

To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using static ARP entry and telnet:

1Determine the hardware address of the print server. See the item labeled UAA on the

network setup page. For Ethernet networks, use the number in the right column

(canonical).

2Add a static ARP entry for the IP address. Use the hardware address from step 1. Use

the dotted decimal form of the IP address, such as 157.184.8.231. Use the

commands appropriate to the host operating system. For example, on many UNIX

computers you would type something similar to the following example:

arp -s ether 157.184.8.231 00:04:00:30:00:44

If you need help and are using a UNIX system, try the man page for ARP.

3Use telnet to access the print server. For UNIX systems, use the following command:

telnet 157.184.8.231 9000

where address is the print server host name (or print server IP address in dotted

decimal format, such as 157.184.8.231). The print server port is 9000.

4Follow the instructions on the screen to set the print server IP address, netmask and

gateway.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with a print server on a TCP/IP network, do the following steps in the

order shown before you call the Customer Support Center.

1Press the operator panel button with a brief button press to print a network settings

page.

Look under the TCP/IP heading on the network setup page to see if there is an IP

address listed for the print server and that the TCP/IP protocol is turned on

(activated).

If TCP/IP is turned off, use the IPX protocol to activate it. Select the printer and then

select the TCP/IP task. Check the Enable box to activate TCP/IP.

2Issue a ping command to the print server.

ping 157.184.8.231

3Establish an FTP session with the print server. Expect the print server to return its

current firmware level (such as 2.5.15).

ftp 157.184.8.231

4Using the FTP “put”command, print a file. This file can be PCL or PostScript

emulations, PDF, HTML, or any other printer language the printer understands. If the

file prints, this confirms the TCP/IP protocol is working properly in the print server.

put mytest.txt

5Check the port settings on the printer object. For example, in Windows 95 do the

following:

aClick Start, Settings, Printers, select the printer object; click File, Properties,

Details tab, Port Settings button.

bCheck all parameters on the Print Server Settings tab and the TCP/IP Settings tab.

You can change some of the values from this tab. Others, like TCP/IP address, you

cannot change from this tab.

cIf a parameter is wrong but you cannot change it from here, you must delete the

port, fix the problem, and then add the port back.

6Check all the settings in the print server. Type the MarkNet IP address in the URL

address field of your browser (for example, http://157.184.8.231), which takes you to

the MarkNet resident web page.

7If you have trouble printing from an application, the problem might be the way your

workstation or application is set up.

aTry printing from some other application. If the job prints from the second

application, the problem is with the first application.

bMake sure you are using the current version of the driver for the problem

application.

8Try printing again.

Step 2: Set up to print

There are many ways to send a network print job including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD, point-and-

print (LexIP) and various queue-based methods.

Print to a queue on a Windows NT server

To use this method, you must have at least one server running Windows NT Server software

and TCP/IP.

Use direct IP printing if all you want to do is print directly to a network printer. If you need to

centrally manage your network printers, see instructions for shared printing.

If all you want is basic printer functionality, you can use a system printer driver and a system

IP port, such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. Using a system printer driver and a

system port lets you maintain a consistent user interface for use with all the printers on your

network.

To get the fullest range of printer functionality, including a job status window and printer

alerts, you need to install a custom driver and create a Network Port.

Set up LexIP printing on Windows NT 4.0/2000

You can view thisfile online before you begin installing, or print the file to an alternate network

printer that is already set up.
