Point-to-point printing (LexIP)
You can print from any Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT workstation
directly to a Lexmark printer located anywhere on the IP network. No server is
required.
1
Install the TCP/IP software component on the workstation. Look on the
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom
install to add network support, and select TCP/IP.)

Create a printer object on the workstation:
a
Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b
When prompted, select Local Printer (not Network). This gives you
access to the Lexmark Network Printer Monitor later.
c
Select the correct printer driver.
d
Select any port (LPT, COM, or FILE) for the initial setup. Later, you will
change the port to a logical port.
e
Click Next, and continue following the instructions on the screen until
the printer object has been created.

Associate the printer object with the physical printer.
a
Select the newly created printer object in the printers folder.

Click Other, Lexmark Network Printer Monitor, OK. A list of available
network printers appears. For a MarkNet 3 with three printers
attached, there are three line items, all with the same IP address but
different port types (Parallel 1, Parallel 2 and Serial). If your printer
does not appear in the list, click Add Adapter (or Add Print Server) and
follow the instructions on the screen until it does appear.

Find your new printer in the list and select it.

Specify a logical port name to associate with the printer, and click OK.

in the box labeled Print to the following port.
g
Click OK.

Drivers, MarkVision and
Utilities CD.
