Part I - Windows Driver Setup
Overview
This section installs the Printserver driver on your Windows 98, 95, or NT
computers to give them PrintServer printing abilities. The PrintServer is fully
compatible with Windows 98, 95, and NT 4.0 environments.
At this point, you must have:
• the PrintServer hardware installed on your network. If not, see page 11.
• TCP/IP installed on each of your computers. If not, see page 58.
• IPX installed on each of your computers. If not, see page 58.
• an IP address assigned to each of the computers on your network. If not,
see page 58.
This setup should be completed on the network administrator's computer
before all other users' computers on the network. The IP address for your
PrintServer will be assigned in this first installation on the network adminis-
trator's computer only, which takes three extra steps.
It is assumed that your CD-ROM drive's letter name is designated as D. If
your CD drive is named another letter, replace all instances of D with the
appropriate letter.
If you need to install the PrintServer driver on computers without a CD-ROM
drive, you can create a setup disk by copying the contents of
D:\Driver\Win9xNT onto a floppy disk.
N N o o t t e e : To set up DHCP on the PrintServer, install B B i i - - A A d d m m i i n n first
(see page 37), then install D D H H C C P P (see page 57), then proceed
