This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Printer installation collaboration, All print jobs go through a single workstation and will use up resources on that computer slowing that machine down . A local printer will be connected via parallel or USB and these connections are slower than network printing connections, A local printer will be connected via parallel or USB and these connections are slower than network printing connections . All Print Jobs stored On host computer, Advantages . Ethernet printing is much faster than any type of local connection method, Configure the IP and subnet settings in the printer's menu system . Install a new TCPIP printer port on each workstation pointing to the IP Address you setup on the printer, Connected directly to the network using the built-in JetDirect card Pros & Cons Advantages, The workstation directly connected to the printer must be on all the time in order for any other workstation to be able to print . All peer-to-peer workstations must be configured for the same workgroup, No workstation resources will be overtaxed . Any workstation can manage printer resources via the builtin web server inside the printer, All peer-to-peer workstations must be configured for the same workgroup . You have to install the print drivers on every workstation, Dissadvantages . The workstation directly connected to the printer must be on all the time in order for any other workstation to be able to print, Connected directly to the network using the built-in JetDirect card Installation Method Configure the IP and subnet settings in the printer's menu system, No advantages if the printer already came with a JetDirect card . All jobs can Be monitored by a single computer, Connected directly to the network using the built-in JetDirect card Pros & Cons Disadvantages, Connect the printer to one of the 5 workstations (Usually parallel or USB) Install the printer device drivers on the workstation directly connected to the printer, You have to install the print drivers on every workstation . All print jobs go through a single workstation and will use up resources on that computer slowing that machine down, Install the printer device drivers on the workstation directly connected to the printer . Under the sharing Tab, Define a share name for the printer., Connected directly to a workstation and shared via Peer-to-Peer Pros & Cons Advantages, Advantages . No advantages if the printer already came with a JetDirect card, Disadvantages . No disadvantages if the printer already came with a JetDirect card, Connected directly to a workstation and shared via Peer-to-Peer Pros & Cons Dissadvantages, Connected directly to a workstation and shared via Peer-to-Peer Installation Method Connect the printer to one of the 5 workstations (Usually parallel or USB)
