LAN Manager/LAN Server Configuration
In Microsoft LAN Manager and IBM LAN Server printing, the worksta-
tion sends a print job to a printing process, and the job is put in a print
queue and sent to the NetportExpress print server. The print server then
routes the job to the printer through one of its connected ports.
If you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation on the network,
you can also print using Microsoft network printing. See pages 12-15.
To set up the NetportExpress print server
Note: Netport Manager runs only on a Windows-based workstation. If
you have only OS/2* workstations on your network, you can use
Web Netport Manager to configure your NetportExpress print
server. See "Using Web Netport Manager" on page 31.
