Printing from Windows: Using NetBEUI Protocol NetBEUI (NetBios Extended User Interface) is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but the protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/ IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small business networks or home networks. Installation Overview There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer. These can be configured using the AdminManager utility (see page 36). Computer Name: Name assigned to the print server. Workgroup: Name for the work group to which the print server belongs. The default is PrintServer.1 Comment: User definable. The default is EthernetBoard OkiLAN 8200e. 1 Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remain PrintServer. Although there are some differences in configuration options between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is the same. Step 1: Ensure that the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows. This can be confirmed by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI has not been installed, see "Installing NetBEUI Protocol" on page 176. The relevant Windows installation CD may be required. Step 2: Configure Windows to print to the Network Printer. See "Configuring Windows to Print to the Network Printer." on page 177. Step 3: Restart your computer. OkiLAN 8200e Network User's Guide 175
