UTILITY FOR DIRECTLY

HAT IS AND WHY WOULD
LPR allows you to connect a printer directly to a TCP/IP network and assign it an IP
address. GCC's LPR utility configures your computer to send jobs by way of an LPR Port
to your GCC Printer on the network. You no longer need to connect the printer using a
parallel port. You can connect multiple printers on your network, as long as each printer
has a unique IP address. LPR is already part of Windows NT and recent Macintosh
system software. The GCC LPR Utility will not function in Windows 3.x or Windows
3.xx for workgroups..
