Windows NT 4.0 Host Setup Problems
The installation procedure covered earlier in this chapter assumes that
the Ethernet Interface adapter is configured with the correct IP address,
subnet mask and gateway (if required), and that the administrator can
“
ping
” and telnet to the Ethernet Interface adapter from the server
console. If this is
not
the case, use the printer front panel or the IPAssign
utility to configure the Ethernet Interface adapter before proceeding.
The Ethernet Interface installation for Windows NT 4.0 also requires
“Microsoft TCP/IP Printing” service on the server. To install this service,
click on the Network icon in the Control Panel and click on the “Services”
tab. Click on “Add Service” and select “Microsoft TCP/IP printing”.
• Are you logged in as the “Administrator”?
This installation requires administrator privileges.
• “LPR port” is not listed in step 5.
Cancel the installation and install Microsoft TCP/IP printing service on
the server.
• LPR configuration warning during step 6.
The Ethernet cable is not plugged in, or printer is not turned on. This
message is a communication failure between the NT server and the
Ethernet Interface card. Check cabling, IP address settings, gateway,
etc.
