Chapter 3 Windows PrintNet Configuration

Changing Workgroup Names
Windows environments define groups of related computers as
“workgroups.” By default, the PrintNet belongs to the workgroup called
“WORKGROUP”. However, you may want to change this to suit your
network better. To do this:
1. Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL
“
http://
PrintNetIPaddress
/networkConf.html”
(e.g., “
http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html”).
NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in “
root” for
the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is
no password by default.
2. At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, search for
the “Windows (NetBIOS TCP/IP)” section and highlight the
“Workgroup Name” field.
3. Type in the new workgroup name for the PrintNet.
4. Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the
print server to make the new settings take effect.
Changing Destination Names
When defining some printers within Windows environments, the PrintNet
requires that you specify a pre-defined destination rather than any name
you would like. For example, when creating a new printer under Windows
NT, you are presented with a screen similar to Figure 10.
