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 .)
2
Create a printer object on the workstation:
a
Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b
Windows 95/98: When prompted, select Local Printer (not Network).
This gives you access to the Lexmark Network Printer Monitor later.
Windows NT: When prompted, select My Computer (not Network
printer server). This gives you access to the Lexmark Network Printer
Monitor later.
c
Select the correct printer driver.
Note: You can obtain the latest Lexmark printer drivers from our web site
located at: www.lexmark.com.
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 then continue following the instructions on the screen
until the printer object has been created.

Windows NT: Click File, Properties, Ports, Add Port.

Click Other, Lexmark Network Printer Monitor, then click OK. A list of
available printers is shown. If your printer does not appear in the list,
click Add Adapter, and then follow the instructions on the screen until it
does appear.

e
Specify a logical port name to associate with the printer, and then click
OK.
Note: If you assign a logical port name of LPT1, LPT2, LPT3 or LPT4, you
can print from DOS using LexIP . For example:
c:\>copy FileName LPT3
