Microsoft Windows 95
Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this
protocol, a client also requires an lpr utility. This program is
available from various sources. The lpr queue can be created
on each workstation or the lpr queue can be created on one
workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95
workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an
Windows NT server on the network.
The following instructions are based on the a shareware lpr
application that is available from various sources, including
the NIC manufacturer. You will need the
wlprs41.zip
and
wlprspl.txt
for the lpr.
If you wish to use the Bootp Lite program, you will also need
the
NTBOOTP.exe
and
NTBOOTP.txt
file provided with this
NIC on the NIManage for Windows diskette.
Loading the lpr Spooler
The Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 - Users Guide
(
wlprspl.txt
) provides detailed instructions for decompressing
and installing the shareware lpr spooler.
Setting up the NIC
The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to
be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with NIManage for
Windows if you have a NetWare connection on your network,
or with NIManage for Macintosh if there is an Apple
Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these
programs which are documented elsewhere. If you cannot
use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure, or
the ntBOOTP program.
1. Install the NIC in your printer.
2. Power-up the printer.
Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address.
It should show that TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol
address is not configured.
