Printer Server

To add an LPR port

1. Open Printers and Faxes.
2. Double-click Add Printer to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next.
3. Click Local printer attached to this computer, clear the Automatically detect and
install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next.
4. Click Create a new port, and then click LPR Port.
If LPR Port is not available, click Cancel to stop the wizard. To add the LPR port, you need
to install the optional networking component, Print Services for Unix. For more
information, click Related Topics.
5. Click Next, and then provide the following information:

In Name or address of server providing LPD, type the Domain Name System
(DNS) name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the host for the printer you are
adding. The host may be the direct-connect TCP/IP printing device or the UNIX
computer to which the printing device is connected. The DNS name can be the name
specified for the host in the Hosts file.

In Name of printer or print queue on that server, type the name of the printer as
it is identified by the host, which is either the direct-connect printer itself or the UNIX
computer.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish installing the TCP/IP printer.
Notes

To open Printers and Faxes, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.

The Line Printer Remote (LPR) port is best suited to servers that need to communicate with
host computers (such as UNIX or VAX computers) by way of RFC 1179.

A network-connected printer must have a card that supports LPD for LPR printing to work
properly.
