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.
