Installing and Configuring Your Printer Driver
In Windows, use the Add Printer feature to install and configure a SuperScript printer driver in each workstation that will access the network printer.
note: SuperScript printer drivers are on the SuperScript CD that came with the printer.
Specify that the printer will be attached as a Network Printer, and set the Port to the printer queue you just created. (The Windows NT 4.0 driver installs automatically to LPT1:. After installation, you can manually reset the port to your NetWare queue.)
