15.Backspace over the old name and enter a printer name in the Printer Name text box. Users will see this name on their list of available printers. The name may be the same as the print server name defined above, or it may be a name that users will recognize more easily, for example, NEC Printer 0.

For parallel printer connections, you may only select remote printer mode.
-Select Parallel, LPT<port> if your printer is connected to a server running PSERVER.NLM.
-Select Remote Parallel, LPT<port> if your printer is connected to a DOS workstation running PSERVER.EXE.
-Select Remote Parallel, LPT<port> if your printer is connected to a DOS workstation different from the one that is running PSERVER.EXE. In this case, the connected DOS workstation runs RPRINTER.EXE for NetWare 3.1x, or NPRINTER.EXE for NetWare 4.1.
See your NetWare manual for more information about parallel printer connections.
