To print from Windows computers, you or the administrator must perform the 
following tasks:

• Set up network servers, if any.

• Set up the Fiery X3eTY2 to accept print jobs from your computer.

• Configure a port on each Windows computer for the network type.

The Fiery X3eTY2 supports the following printing connections:

• SMB

• TCP/IP and LPR

• IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell)

• IPP or IPP over SSL

If your network does not have a Windows server, Windows computers can still print to the 
Fiery X3eTY2. This method of printing is SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS 
printing). When users send print jobs, computers running Windows operate in a peer-to-peer 
environment and communicate directly with the Fiery X3eTY2. 

Enabling SMB printing allows the Fiery X3eTY2 to be listed on the network, so that 
Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Hold queue, Print queue, or 
Direct connection) on the Fiery X3eTY2 without using other networking software. Windows 
printing runs via TCP/IP. You must configure TCP/IP on the Fiery X3eTY2 and on all 
computers that use SMB printing.

Once you enable SMB printing on the Fiery X3eTY2, you can set up the Windows or SMB 
connection and install the printer driver from the User Software (Drivers) CD. For more
