Chapter 4
Windows NIC Configuration
Changing Destination Names
When defining some printers within Windows environments, the
NIC requires that you specify a predefined destination rather than
any name you would like. For example, when creating a new printer
under Windows NT, a screen similar to Figure 26 displays.
The first field requires the IP address for the NIC, and the second
field must be filled in with a valid destination from the print server
(e.g., d1prn). Otherwise, LPR will not be able to access the printer.
Table 3 outlines the default destinations to choose from.
