Windows NT Configuration
There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.
If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by following
the NetWare configuration instructions in this guide.
Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows 95 instruc-
tions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.x, not for Windows
NT 3.51. Peer to peer print services use the IPX protocol and may be prefer-
able when TCP/IP setup is not desired.
LPR print services may be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in this
section.
Windows NT printing is very flexible. It is possible to configure the individual
Windows NT or Windows 95 workstations to print using a different protocol than the
Windows NT server. For example, a Windows NT server could be configured to
print to a 1000E via TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The 1000E could
then be designated as shared on the NT server, allowing workstations to print via
the NT server using a different protocol (such as the default NetBEUI).
The optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends upon the particular
environment and user and administrator experience and preferences. Generally,
the LPR printing over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the best choice
for environments where TCP/IP is already in use.
TCP/IP Required Components
The Windows NT system performing the 1000E configuration must have the TCP/IP
protocol installed. The following steps describe how to check for and, if necessary,
add the required TCP/IP components.
Windows NT 3.51
1. In the Program Manager group Main, double click on Control Panel.
2. Double click on Network and check the list of Installed Network Software for the
following three components:
Microsoft TCP/IP Printing, Simple TCP/IP Services, & TCP/IP Protocol
3. If any of these components are missing, click on Add Software, select TCP/IP
Protocol and related components and click on Continue.
4. Select TCP/IP Network Printing Support and Simple TCP/IP Services and
click Continue.
5. After all necessary files are copied, click on OK to close the Network Settings
dialog and restart the system when prompted. The new protocol and/or services
will not be available until the system is restarted.
