canonical).
Information on installing,
using and troubleshooting the
utility resides on the CD.
If you are using Windows NT
Server 4.0 or later and
running TCP/IP, you can use
Network Plug and Print to
automate your printer setup
process.
Print server TCP/IP setup utility
You can use this simple utility to initialize the MarkNet IP addresses if your
workstation is running Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT and is on the
same subnet as the print server. You need to know the 12-digit physical address
of the MarkNet to use this method.
To install the utility, launch the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD, do a
custom install to add network support, and select Print Server TCP/IP Setup
Utility.
Once the IP address has been set (using any method), you can

Step 2: Set up to print

There are many ways to send a print job through the MarkNet including FTP,
TFTP, LPR/LPD, point-to-point (LexIP) and various queue-based methods.
Instructions for two of the methods follow.
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server
This section explains the setup for queue-based printing in which network
users print to a queue defined on a Windows NT server. The MarkNet services
this queue. To use this method, you must have at least one server running
Windows NT Server software and TCP/IP.
The following instructions apply to Windows NT Server versions 4.0 and later.
1
Install the TCP/IP software component on the server that contains the
print queue. This software is necessary to establish the link between the
MarkNet and the queue. 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
Set up a print queue on the server. Do this by creating a printer object.
a
Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b
When prompted, select My Computer (not Network printer server).
c
Click Add Port.
d
Select Lexmark Network Port, and then click New Port. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
e
Share the queue.
