Windows NT Configuration There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment. • If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by following the NetWare Configuration instructions in this guide. • Peer-to-peer print services may be used by following the Windows 95/98 instructions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.x, not for Windows NT 3.51. Peer-to-peer print services use the IPX protocol and may be preferable when TCP/IP setup is not desired. • LPR print services may be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in this section. Windows NT printing is very flexible.You can configure the individual Windows NT or Windows 95/98 workstations to print using a different protocol than the Windows NT server. For example, a Windows NT server could be configured to print to a NIC via TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The NIC could then be designated as shared on the NT server, allowing workstations to print via the NT server using a different protocol (such as the default NetBEUI). The optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends upon the particular environment and user and administrator experience and preferences. Generally, the LPR printing over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the best choice for environments where TCP/IP is already in use. TCP/IP Required Components The Windows NT system performing the NIC configuration must have the TCP/IP protocol installed. The following steps describe how to check for and, if necessary, add the required TCP/IP components. Windows NT 3.51 1. In the Program Manager group Main, double click on Control Panel. 2. Double click on Network and check the list of Installed Network Soft- ware for the following three components: • Microsoft TCP/IP Printing • Simple TCP/IP Services • TCP/IP Protocol 14
