Chapter 4 Windows NIC Configuration
Changing Destination Names
When defining some printers within Windows environments, the NIC requires that you specify a predefined destination rather than any name you would like. For example, when creating a new printer under Windows NT, a screen similar to Figure 26 displays.

The first field requires the IP address for the NIC, and the second field must be filled in with a valid destination from the print server (e.g., d1prn). Otherwise, LPR will not be able to access the printer. Table 3 outlines the default destinations to choose from.
