For example, in Windows 95 do the following: a Click Start, Settings, Printers, select the printer object; click File, Properties, Details tab, Port Settings button. b Check all parameters on the Print Server Settings tab and the TCP/IP Settings tab. You can change some of the values from this tab. Others, like TCP/IP address, you cannot change from this tab. c If a parameter is wrong but you cannot change it from here, you must delete the port, fix the problem, and then add the port back. 6 Check all the settings in the print server. Type the MarkNet IP address in the URL address field of your browser (for example, http://157.184.8.231), which takes you to the MarkNet resident web page. 7 If you have trouble printing from an application, the problem might be the way your workstation or application is set up. a Try printing from some other application. If the job prints from the second application, the problem is with the first application. b Make sure you are using the current version of the driver for the problem application. 8 Try printing again. Step 2: Set up to print There are many ways to send a network print job including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD, point-and-print (LexIP) and various queue-based methods. Print to a queue on a Windows NT server To use this method, you must have at least one server running Windows NT Server software and TCP/ IP. Use direct IP printing if all you want to do is print directly to a network printer. If you need to centrally manage your network printers, see instructions for shared printing. If all you want is basic printer functionality, you can use a system printer driver and a system IP port, such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. Using a system printer driver and a system port lets you maintain a consistent user interface for use with all the printers on your network. To get the fullest range of printer functionality, including a job status window and printer alerts, you need to install a custom driver and create a Network Port. 93

Establish an FTP session with the print server. Expect the print server to return its current
firmware level (such as 2.5.15).
ftp

Using the FTP “put” command, print a file. This file can be PCL or PostScript emulations, PDF,
HTML, or any other printer language the printer understands. If the file prints, this confirms the
TCP/IP protocol is working properly in the print server.
put mytest.ps
or
put mytest.txt
5
Check the port settings on the printer object. For example, in Windows 95 do the following:
a
Click Start, Settings, Printers, select the printer object; click File, Properties, Details tab,
Port Settings button.
b
Check all parameters on the Print Server Settings tab and the TCP/IP Settings tab. You
can change some of the values from this tab. Others, like TCP/IP address, you cannot
change from this tab.
c
If a parameter is wrong but you cannot change it from here, you must delete the port, fix
the problem, and then add the port back.
6
Check all the settings in the print server. Type the MarkNet IP address in the URL address field
of your browser (for example, http://157.184.8.231), which takes you to the MarkNet resident
web page.

If you have trouble printing from an application, the problem might be the way your workstation
or application is set up.
a
Try printing from some other application. If the job prints from the second application, the
problem is with the first application.
b
Make sure you are using the current version of the driver for the problem application.

Try printing again.
Step 2: Set up to print
There are many ways to send a network print job including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD, point-and-print
(LexIP) and various queue-based methods.
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server
To use this method, you must have at least one server running Windows NT Server software and TCP/
IP.
Use direct IP printing if all you want to do is print directly to a network printer. If you need to centrally
manage your network printers, see instructions for
shared printing
.
If all you want is basic printer functionality
, you can use a system printer driver and a system IP port,
such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. Using a system printer driver and a system port lets you
maintain a consistent user interface for use with all the printers on your network.
To get the fullest range of printer functionality
, including a job status window and printer alerts, you
need to install a custom driver and create a Network Port.
