Windows 95 Host Setup
To configure a new printer on a Windows 95 station:
NOTE: Testing has shown that using the following Windows 95 host
setup can lead to print job/data loss if the printer is offline for
longer than approximately 45 seconds. An alternative method for
printing using LPR on Windows 95 is given on page 87.
1. Select “Settings:Printers” from the “Start” menu.
2. Double click on the “Add Printer” icon.
3. Select “Network Printer” from the second window of the “Add Printer”
wizard that loaded.
4. At the next window, click on BROWSE to help fill in the network path
of this printer.
5. At the “Browse for Printer” dialogue box that displays, double click on
the appropriate workgroup containing the Ethernet Interface. By
default, the print server falls under the workgroup, “WORKGROUP.”
6. Continue searching the network until you see the Ethernet Interface
name, “M_
xxxxxx
”, where “
xxxxxx
” equals the last six digits of the
print server Ethernet address found when a configuration is printed.
7. Once you see the Ethernet Interface, double click on it to display a list
of pre-defined destinations/queues to choose from.
8. Select a destination/queue that will use “
d1prn”.
NOTE: When the IPDS feature is installed, queue name d4prn is not
available.
9. Click OK once you have selected a destination.
10. Back at the network path window, select NEXT since this path should
now be filled in for you.
11. At the next window, select the appropriate print driver and click on
NEXT.
12. Fill in a name for this new network printer at the next window and
decide if you want this to be the default printer. This printer name can
be anything you would like as long as it is unique.
