Windows NT - LPD printing

This section describes how to set up a Windows NT Server (ver. 3.5 or later) for LPD printing over the TCP/IP protocol.

Install the TCP/IP In the Control Panel, click the Network icon. If the TCP/IP Protocol Protocol Stack entry appears, then TCP/IP is already installed. Close the Network folder

and skip to Installing a Printer below.

Follow these steps to install the TCP/IP protocol stack:

1.In the Network folder, select Add Software.

2.Select TCP/IP Protocol and Related Components, then click OK.

3.Make sure that the following boxes are checked:

Installing a Printer

Connectivity Utilities

TCP/IP Printing Support

FTP Server Services

4.Click OK to complete the installation.

1.In the Control Panel, click the Print Manager.

2.In the Printer menu, select Create Printer.

3.In the Printer Name field, type a name for your printer.

4.Choose a printer driver suitable for your printer.

5.In the Print to field, select Other...

6.In the Print Destinations dialog, choose LPR Port, then click OK. The Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog now appears.

7.In the Name or Address field, type the IP address or the alias name of your NPS 530/532.

Note: If you use an alias name, this must be defined in the hosts file on your server prior to the installation. This file is normally located in /winnt35/system32/drivers/etc/hosts.

8.In the Name of Printer on the Machine field, type the logical printer number you want to use (e.g. pr1), then click OK.
