8 8DLC Printing

Printing from Windows NT® 4.0 or Windows® 2000

Overview

DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000 as standard. It can be used on other operating systems (such as Windows® 3.x) with the addition of vendor-supplied software that supports the Hewlett-Packard JetDirect card.

Quick Tips:

1One way to print the details of all network settings is to print a configuration page. For information on how to print the configuration page, see Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch) on page 13-4.

Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a router between the print server and the sending computer.

Configuring DLC on Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000

To use DLC on Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000, you must first install the DLC protocol.

1Log into Windows NT® 4.0 with administrative privileges. Go to the Windows NT® 4.0 Control Panel and double click on the Network icon. Windows® 2000 users select the properties of the Local Area Connection.

2On Windows NT® 4.0 systems, click on the Protocol tab, and click Add. Windows® 2000 users click the Install button from the General tab.
