Windows 3.1 Host Setup Windows 3.1 Host Setup If you are running Windows 3.1 stations on your network, you will need to rely on either TCP/IP or IPX to print to the Ethernet Interface. If IPX is used, you will have a print queue defined on a Novell file server to which your Windows 3.1 stations will send their print jobs. The Ethernet Interface will then service this print queue as either a PSERVER or an RPRINTER. Please see Chapter 5, "Novell Configuration" for further details. If you want to rely on TCP/IP, you will need a third party TCP stack loaded onto your Windows station since TCP/IP support did not automatically come with Windows until the introduction of Windows NT and Windows 95. You may also be running a third party stack if you decided not to use a Microsoft operating system. Some common TCP stacks are FTP Software's® OnNet®, NetManager's® Chameleon®, and Frontier Technologies'® SuperTCP®. In each case, they allow your Windows 3.1 station to communicate with other TCP/IP devices. This means you can send print jobs to the Ethernet Interface as well. The most common print method offered with Windows TCP stacks is LPR/LPD, a multi-platform remote printing protocol used on everything from PCs to mainframes. The LPR print setup is very simplistic, involving only two parameters: 1. Ethernet Interface IP address. The IP address or host name of the print server to which you want to print. 2. Ethernet Interface destination/queue. A pre-defined name on the print server telling the device to which I/O port to send the jobs. The standard name for the PRN port is d1prn. NOTE: This destination name is case sensitive and, by default, all names are lowercase. 99
