LPD on Windows NT/2000/Server 2003 Systems

This section describes how to configure Windows NT/2000 networks to use the HP Jetdirect LPD (Line Printer Daemon) services.

The process consists of two parts:

●Installing TCP/IP software (if not already installed).

●Configuring a network LPD printer.

Installing TCP/IP Software

This procedure lets you check whether you have TCP/IP installed on your Windows NT system, and to install the software if necessary.

Note	You may need your Windows System distribution
	files or CD-ROMs to install TCP/IP components.

1.To check whether you have Microsoft TCP/IP Printing protocol and TCP/IP printing support:

■Windows 2000/Server 2003—

Windows 2000: Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Then double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections folder. Double-click the Local Area Connection for your network and click Properties.

Server 2003: Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, and open the Network Connections folder. Double-click the Local Area Connection for your network and click Properties.

If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is listed and enabled in the list of components used by this connection, the necessary software is already installed. (Proceed to “Configuring a Network Printer for Windows 2000/Server 2003 Systems”). If not, go to step 2.

■NT 4.0—Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Then double-click the Network option to display the Network dialog box.
