9. Done! 

Moving Your Computer to A New 
Segment 

 

If you are using the print server through the Network Print 
Port on your NT or Windows 95/98/Me computer and your 
computer is going to be moved onto another segment, you 
have to reconfigure the print server on your computer to 
use your print server. However, this situation is like moving 
the print server to a new segment. Please refer to the 

Moving the print server to a new segment

” section for 

more detailed reconfiguration instructions.
