LPR Utility

The LPR Utility allows you to print directly to a printer on the network
without a print server. It creates an Oki Printer Port, and installs a pop-
up status box so you can monitor printer status.

LPR operates in Windows Me/98/95, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
and Windows XP operating systems.

How to Install

The LPR Utility supports TCP/IP. Your network administrator will first
need to set up an IP address and TCP/IP properties for your printer.

1. Place the driver CD supplied with your printer in your CD-ROM

drive and wait for the Menu Installer to open.

(If the CD does not AutoPlay, click Start Æ Run Æ Browse. Browse
