Enter the name of the domain that you want the PrintServer associated with in the Domain Name field. If you are unsure of the Domain Name, you can find it out by looking on any computer already on the network. In Windows 98, right click Network Neighborhood and select Properties. Under the Identification tab, there will be listed that computer’s name, and the Domain to which it is connected. For Windows Me and 2000, right click My Network Places. In Windows Me, choose Properties from the menu that appears. In Windows 2000 or XP, choose Properties from the menu that appears. Then, right click Local Area Connection and choose Properties. The Domain name will appear. If you want the PrintServer to be connected to that same Domain, enter that Domain name here. If no Domain name exists there, you will use the Workgroup name from that window. You can specify the Response Time that you prefer for the PrintServer. This is the amount of time (measured in seconds) that the PrintServer will wait for a response from the network before “timing out.” You also have the option to Abort Print Job if Error. Selecting Yes here will terminate the printing if there is an error of any kind. If you select No, print jobs that have errors will be sent to the printer, but might not print properly.
