13. When prompted for a test page, select either “Yes” or “No” depending
on the state of the attached printer and click on FINISH.
NOTE: Windows may ask for a disk or CD-ROM to load the appropriate
printer driver to complete this new printer setup.
There should now be a new printer icon within the “Printers” folder. This
new network printer relies on NetBIOS over TCP/IP as the underlying
protocol to print to the Ethernet Interface.
Alternative Windows 95 Host Setup for LPR
To configure a new printer on a Windows 95 station to use LPR over
TCP/IP:
1. Go to the Web site http://www.printers.ibm.com/util.html and
follow the instructions in the section titled
IBM Remote Printing Client
for Windows 95
to download and install the LPR software.
2. After the LPR port and help files are installed, use the Help
instructions to create a printer which uses an LPR port to print to the
6400. You will need to provide the IP address or hostname of the
printer network card as well as one of the internal print queue names
on the card (e.g. d1prn).
NOTE: When the IPDS feature is installed, queue name d4prn is not
available.
There should now be a new printer icon within the “Printers” folder. This
new network printer relies on LPR over TCP/IP as the underlying protocol
to print to the Ethernet Interface.
Windows 3.1 Host Setup
If you are running Windows 3.1 stations on your network, you will need to
rely on either TCP/IP or IPX to print to the Ethernet Interface. If IPX is
used, you will have a print queue defined on a Novell file server which
your Windows 3.1 stations will send their print jobs to. The Ethernet
Interface will then service this print queue as either a PSERVER or an
RPRINTER. Please see Chapter 8, “Novell Configuration”, for further
details.
