Setting up Windows 95/98/Me TCP/IP Printing
The Print Server can provide print services to TCP/IP networks using
the LPR/LPD network printing protocol. Most UNIX systems are
capable of supporting LPD, as is Windows NT/2000.
The LPR for TCP/IP Printing client gives Windows 95/98/Me
workstations the ability to print using the LPR/LPD printing protocol.
Though it is possible to print to Print Servers from Windows 95/98/Me,
LPR printing is primarily used in networks with UNIX based
implementation or if the user wants to print from workstations that are
only accessible through IP routing.
Installing the LPR for TCP/IP Printing Client
Before your Windows 95/98/Me workstation can print using the LPR
protocol, you will need to install the client program, as follows:
1. Make sure that you have installed the TCP/IP protocol, and have
properly configured the Windows 95/98/Me TCP/IP settings.
You can install the protocol from the Network control panel if
necessary.
2. From the Start menu, choose the Settings submenu, then the
Control Panel item within it. Windows will display the Control
Panel folder.
3. Double-click on the Network icon in the Control Panel folder.
