An Alternate Procedure for Setting up NetBIOS over IP Peer to Peer Printing
EXPERIENCED SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATORS can use the following procedure:
1. On NT4 workstations, verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed and that it is configured for DNS
resolution
of the NetBIOS Host Name. Verify that BOTH Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Services and
Workstation
(SMB client) Services are installed.
2. On Windows 2000 and XP workstations, from the "Properties selection" of the "Local Area
Connection" icon, verify that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed. Select the protocol and click
Properties
. Verify that TCP/IP is configured for use of the DNS Server. Click the Advanced button
and select the DNS Tab. Verify that the checkbox labeled "Register this connection's addresses in
DNS" is checked. Select the WINS Tab and verify that the NetBIOS setting is set to either "Use
NetBIOS Setting from the DHCP Server," or that "NetBIOS is enabled over TCP/IP." Click Cancel
twice and verify that the Client for Microsoft Networks is installed. Finally, with your Operating
System Installer Disk readily available, through Add/Remove Programs and Add/Remove
Windows Components
, select Other Network File and Print Services. Click Details, check the box
for Print Services for Unix, and click OK and Next.
3. On 95/98/Me workstations, verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed and that it is configured for
DNS resolution
of the NetBIOS Host Name. Verify that the Client for Microsoft Networks is
installed and that the workstation has a Computer (NetBIOS) Name and is a member of a Workgroup.
4. Create
an
LPR port
on your NT4, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Operating System. Use a Print
Utility (Spooler) program to create an LPR port on the Windows 95/98/Me workstation.
5. When prompted for the "Name or address of server providing lpd" enter in the Device's SMB Host
Name
as seen on the Device's Settings List.
6. When prompted for a queue name, enter in your preference of an easily-identified name for this
Printer.
7. Install the Print driver on your workstation and, when prompted to select a port to print through, select
the LPR port that you just created.
8. Print a Test Print to verify successful communications with the printer.
