UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP Microsoft Windows 95 Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client also requires an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources. The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95 workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an Windows NT server on the network. The following instructions are based on a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources, including the NC-2 Print Server manufacturer. You will need the wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr. If you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program, you will also need the ntBOOTP.exe file. The ntBOOTP.exe files provided on the Network Management Utility diskette. Loading the lpr Spooler The Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 (wlprspl.txt), provides detailed instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler. Setting up the NC-2 Print Server The NC-2 Print Server must be given an IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with the Network Management Utility for Windows if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with Apple Administration Program for Macintosh if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Instructions for these programs are in Section 3 or Section 4. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either thentBOOTP program or the ARP procedure. 1. Install the NC-2 Print Server in your printer. 2. Power up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not configured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. Use the ntBOOTP Program or any standard Internet Web Browser to change the IP parameters. 5-8 UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP

5-8 UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Microsoft Windows 95
Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client
also requires an
lpr
utility. This program is available from various sources.
The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be
created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95
workstations can also share a
lpr
printer installed on an Windows NT server
on the network.
The following instructions are based on a shareware lpr application that is
available from various sources, including the NC-2 Print Server manufac-
turer. You will need the
wlprs41.zip
and
wlprspl.tx
t for the
lpr
.
If you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program, you will also need the
ntBOOTP.exe
file. The
ntBOOTP.exe
files provided on the Network
Management Utility diskette.
Loading the lpr Spooler
The Windows
lpr
Spooler Version 4.1 (
wlprspl.txt
), provides detailed
instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware
lpr
spooler.
Setting up the NC-2 Print Server
The NC-2 Print Server must be given an IP address and routing information
to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with the Network Management
Utility for Windows if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or
with Apple Administration Program for Macintosh if there is an Apple
Macintosh on the network. Instructions for these programs are in Section 3
or Section 4. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either
thentBOOTP program or the ARP procedure.
1. Install the NC-2 Print Server in your printer.
2. Power up the printer.
Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show
that TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not configured. If the
unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. Use the
ntBOOTP Program or any standard Internet Web Browser to change the IP
parameters.
