Windows 98/Me Network Connections

Xerox printers use the TCP/IP protocol, and FTP and LPR for transmission purposes.
Windows 98 and Me assume that Xerox printers are UNIX network printers capable of
transmitting with FTP and LPR.
Although Windows 98 and Me are already equipped with networks* for this, Windows
Driver cannot be connected directly to the Unix network printer port. Owing to this, if
the system consists only of Windows 98 or Me, it is not possible to print directly onto
Unix network printers from normal applications simply by installing Windows Driver.
However, printing directly to UNIX network printers from Windows 98 and Me
applications is possible if the printing job is transmitted via the Netware Server or
Windows 2000 print spoolers, or UNIX network software is installed into Windows 98
and Me.
The following are detailed examples of printing from Xerox printers with the use of
these two methods.

This section explains the "Connecting Via UNIX Print Spoolers" and "Installing UNIX
Network Software on Windows 98 and Me" connection methods.
70 Chapter 3 System-Related Precautions and Limitations
The TCP/IP, NWLink and NETBEUI protocols are included, but LPR is not
installed as a component. However, FTP is installed so that files can be
transmitted to UNIX systems.
