Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 42
Windows 95/98: Introduction
4. Windows 95/98
4.1. Introduction
The following protocols are supported, provided that you install
the Intermate Print Port (
page 43
).
• Raw Socket (Port 9100, Reverse Telnet).
• LPR (for standard ASCII data, e.g. PCL and PostScript)
IN order to print properly from an LPR queue, a TCP/IP-
network-connected printer must have a card that
supports LPD.
Note that the LPR port is best suited to servers that need to
communicate with host computers such as UNIX or VAX
machines by way of RFC 1179. For computers that need to
submit print jobs to host computers, the standard TCP/IP port
(such as Raw Socket) should be used in most cases.
The the installation process is split up like this:
•
“New “Printer”” [page 44]
; this can be skipped if you
already have a printer defined that you want to re-
configure
•
“Add the Intermate Port 9100 or LPR printer port”
[page 46]
What is a
“printer”
In Windows, the definition of a “printer” consists of three ele-
ments:
a a physical printer from a specific printer
manufacturer and of a specific type or model,
with a specific IP address
b a specific driver to be used (this driver may or
may not be from the same manufacturer)
c the port name to be used (port names are often
in themselves composed of two parts, for
example an IP address and a port).
Once defined, printers appear on the “Settings > Printer” func-
tion and they are presented on the list of printers you can
