Setting Up LPR Printing
If the printer driver has not already been installed, please install it before continuing.
Instructions for installing the printer are found in Chapter 6 of this manual, Using the
Elite 21 with Windows NT 4.0. Install the printer as if it were a local printer
connected to the parallel (LPT1) port. The following instructions will cover setting up
the NT server to direct output to the printer as an LPR device.
Please note: In the following instructions, some field or dialog names may vary
depending on the NT release pack in use.
• Click on the Start Button. Select Settings and then Printers.
• Locate the icon for the Elite 21 printer that you have installed. Right-click on the
printer icon and select Properties.
• Click on the Ports tab and click on Add Port.
• Double click on "LPR Port" from the list of available printer ports.
• In the "Name or address of host providing lpd:" field, enter the IP address of the
printer. If the printer does not have an IP address, please follow the instructions at
the beginning of this section under Assigning an IP Address to assign one.
• In the "Name of printer or print queue on that server:" field, enter LPR1 and click
OK.
• Click on Close to close the Printer Ports dialog. The printer's IP address is now
displayed and currently selected on the list of ports.
• If the printer is to be shared, click on the Sharing tab. Select Shared and enter a
Share Name. This name will identify the printer to the client computers on the
network. Click on OK when finished.
This will allow the NT server to print to the Elite 21 using LPR.
