Printing from Windows

Overview

DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows

and Windows

2000

as standard. It can be used on other operating systems (such as Windows

3.x)

with the addition of vendor-supplied software that supports the Hewlett-Packard
JetDirect card.

Quick Tips:

One way to print the details of all network settings is to print a
configuration page. Refer to the NC-8100h Quick Network Setup Guide
for information on how to print the configuration page.

Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a router between the
Print / Fax server and the sending computer.
