Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 27
Windows 2000 and Windows XP: LPR
2.3. LPR 2.3.1. Native LPR
Windows 2000 and Windows XP have a native LPR, but it
requires that you have installed Print Services for Unix. If you
choose this alternative, use the instructions provided in the
“Settings > Printers” help function. When you fill out the name
or address of the server providing LPD, use the IP address or
host name of your Intermate print server. If you use the host
name, a mapping of the name and IP address must be entered
in the hosts file. This is found in the directory
\<systemroot>\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
The definition of <systemroot> depends on where your operat-
ing system is installed and the name given to the top-level
folder. A typical <systemroot> is C:\windows.
2.3.2. Intermate Print Port
The Print Port is a native 32 bit application included on the Inter-
mate
Documentation and Utilities
CD.
You need administrative
rights to install this utility on NT, 2000, or XP.
After you execute the file
P17-xxxx.exe
, you will be able to
choose an
Intermate LPR Print Port (or, for that matter, an
Intermate Raw Socket (“Port 9100") Port) just as you would
choose any other type of port when you install or modify the
properties of a printer definition
.
Choose Settings > Printers > Add Printer.
Follow the instructions given by the “Add Print Wizard”.
The important things to notice are listed below.
1Choose local printer (yes, local, even though the print
server is attached to the LAN and not directly to your PC/
work station). Clear the “Automatically detect my printer”
check box before going on to click Next.
2Add a new port. This is defined as a combination of a give n
IP address (in our example 192.168.0.227) and a port type.
Available port types are displayed on the “Type” pull down
list. Choose “Intermate Print Port”
