13. When prompted for a test page, select either "Yes" or "No" depending on the state of the attached printer and click on FINISH. There should now be a new printer icon within the "Printers" folder. This new network printer relies on NetBIOS over TCP/IP as the underlying protocol to print to the Ethernet Interface. NOTE: Windows may ask for a disk or CD-ROM to load the appropriate printer driver to complete this new printer setup. Alternative Windows 95 Host Setup for LPR To configure a new printer on a Windows 95 station to use LPR over TCP/IP: 1. Go to the Web site 'http://www.printers.ibm.com/util.html' and follow the instructions in the section titled 'IBM Remote Printing Client for Windows 95' to download and install the LPR software. 2. After the LPR port and help files are installed, use the Help instructions to create a printer which uses an LPR port to print to the 6400. You will need to provide the IP address or hostname of the printer network card as well as one of the internal print queue names on the card (e.g. d1prn). There should now be a new printer icon within the "Printers" folder. This new network printer relies on LPR over TCP/IP as the underlying protocol to print to the Ethernet Interface. 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 which your Windows 3.1 stations will send their print jobs to. The Ethernet Interface will then service this print queue as either a PSERVER or an RPRINTER. Please see the Chapter 6, "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 Microsoft. 4-16 Windows Configuration

Alternative Windows 95 Host Setup for LPR
To configure a new printer on a Windows 95 station to use LPR over TCP/IP:
1.
Go to the Web site ’http://www.printers.ibm.com/util.html’ and follow the
instructions in the section titled
’IBM Remote Printing Client for Windows 95’
to download and install the LPR software.
2.
After the LPR port and help files are installed, use the Help instructions to
create a printer which uses an LPR port to print to the 6400. You will need to
provide the IP address or hostname of the printer network card as well as
one of the internal print queue names on the card (e.g. d1prn).
