installing TCP/IP on each workstation.
• Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP capa-

share an lpr queue on a Windows NT server (for example) that has one.
In general, if printers are not shared, an lpr queue must be created on
each workstation from which printing is initiated. See the Windows
documentation about sharing printers.
