5. Windows NT Configuration
Windows NT Configuration
There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.
• If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by follow-
ing the NetWare Configuration instructions in this guide.
• Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows 95/98 in-
structions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.x, not for
Windows NT 3.51.
• LPR print services may be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in
this section.
Windows NT printing is very flexible. It is possible to configure the individual
Windows NT or Windows 95/98 workstations to print using a different protocol
than the Windows NT server. For example, a Windows NT server could be con-
figured to print to a NIB via TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The
NIB could then be designated as shared on the NT server, allowing workstations
to print via the NT server using a different protocol (such as the default Net-
BEUI).
The Optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends upon the particular
environment and user and administrator experience and preferences. General-
ly, the LPR printing over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the
best choice for environments where TCP/IP is already in use.
Note
❒ Be sure to turn the printer off and on after changing the network configura-
tion.
