5.1.3 Using a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP Reply

At boot time a host-based DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server can respond to a Terminal
Server request for an available IP address. For information about configuring the DHCP,
BOOTP, or RARP server, see your host documentation.

5.2 LPR Printing

The Terminal Server provides two major methods of printing via TCP/IP: Berkeley remote
LPR and RTEL host software.
Two parameters must be configured for LPR printing:
1
The IP address or host name of the Terminal Server.
2
The remote output queue (the name of the service on the Terminal Server).
In addition, there are a few important things to note about LPR printing:
Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows 98 do not support LPR di-
rectly; however, Black Box has provided a peer-to-peer printing solution on the dis-
tribution CD-ROM.
