Setting Up the Printer in a Network Printing with a Windows NT Server When Windows NT Server or Workstation is the operating system being used on the print server, TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols are used. Note: For instructions on setting up TCP/IP or NetBEUI in a Windows NT environment, refer to Chapter 3.
Setting Up the Printer in a Network Printing as a NetWare Print Server The Network Interface Board allows you to set up your printer in a NetWare environment as a print server or a remote printer. A dedicated NetWare print server is not required. If a dedicated print server is being used, you should configure your printer as a remote printer.
