Changing Destination Names

When defining some printers within Windows environments, the NIC requires
that you specify a pre-defined destination rather than any name you would
like. For example, when creating a new printer under Windows NT, you are
presented with a screen similar to Figure 16.

Figure 16. Windows NT Print Setup Dialogue Box

The first field requires the IP address for the NIC and the second field must be
filled in with a valid destination from the print server (e.g., d1prn). Otherwise,
LPR will not be able to access the printer. Table 15 outlines the default
destinations to choose from.

This name can be changed to something more meaningful using the built-in
HTML forms. To do this:

1.

Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL

http://P5000LJIPaddress/destConf.html

(e.g.,

http://192.75.11.9/destConf.html

)
