Open a DOS shell and type showprn.exe. A list of CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) on your local network segment should appear.

If NETBEUI is not your default protocol, it may be necessary to use the “-d#“ command option to show the list of CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter)s. In this case, the syntax is showprn.exe -d#, where # is a number between 0 and 7. Some experimentation may be required to find the correct port number.

Verify that the CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) appears in the list. The default name is of the format “XRXaaaaaa”, where “aaaaaa” are the last six digits of the CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) Ethernet address.

Type nbmon.exe XRXaaaaaa to open a session with the CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter). If the “-d#” option was required for showprn.exe, it should be used with nbmon.exe also.

The CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) will return a list of options. Type ! to enter a monitor session.
