10.The printer will now appear in the Print Manager window, and will be accessible from all Windows applications, as well as for DOS applications executed from Windows.

MS-DOS/PC-DOS Workstations

To connect your MS-DOS/PC-DOS workstation using client software such as

♦Microsoft LAN Manager client

♦Microsoft NT Server client

♦Microsoft Windows for Workgroups (DOS client)

you will normally use the NET USE command. To connect a DOS-based NetBEUI client to a printer attached to your HyperNet Fastprint print server,

1.Choose a free printer port (LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3) not being used on the workstation. If you never connect a printer directly to the workstation’s physical printer port, you should probably choose LPT1.

2.Type the command

NET USE port \\computer name\printer name

where port is the name of the free printer port, computer name is the name of the HyperNet Fastprint print server, and printer name is the name of the print server’s port. For example, to connect LPT1 to the printer on port PS-142634-P1 on the print server PS-142634, use the command:

NET USE LPT1 \\PS-142634\PS-142634-P1

3.You can add the above line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you always wish to be connected to the printer.

Keeping the Print Queue on a Windows NT Server

Because Microsoft Windows Networking is a peer-to-peer network, it is possible for clients workstations to connect directly to the HyperNet Fastprint network print server. However, because the print server’s memory is limited, a client may have to wait for large print jobs to complete instead of letting the print server queue the entire job.

To reduce wait times for clients, you may wish to store the print queue on a Windows NT Server. For a Windows NT 4.0 server,
