1.11 Printing in Windows 98SE/ME
The NetServer Pro can provide print services to TCP/IP networks using
the lpr/lpd network printing protocol. Most U
NIX systems are capable of
supporting lpd, as is Windows NT/2000.
This LPR for TCP/IP Printing client gives Windows 98SE/Me workstations
the ability to print using the lpr/lpd printing protocol. Though it is possible
to print to Print Servers from Windows 98SE/Me, this capability is useful if
primarily administer your network from U
NIX systems, or if you want to
print from workstations that are only accessible through IP routing.
1.11.1 Installing the LPR for TCP/IP Printing Client
Before your Windows 98SE/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 98SE/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.
4. Click on the Add... button on the Configuration tab.
5. Windows will ask for the type of component to add. Select Client and
click Add... to continue.
