Setting up Windows 95/98/Me TCP/IP Printing 

The Print Server can provide print services to TCP/IP networks using 
the 

LPR/LPD

 network printing protocol.  Most U

NIX

 systems are 

capable of supporting 

LPD

, as is Windows NT/2000. 

The LPR for TCP/IP Printing client gives Windows 95/98/Me 
workstations the ability to print using the 

LPR/LPD

 printing protocol.  

Though it is possible to print to Print Servers from Windows 95/98/Me, 
LPR printing is primarily used in networks with U

NIX

 based 

implementation or if the user wants to print from workstations that are 
only accessible through IP routing. 

Installing the LPR for TCP/IP Printing Client 

Before your Windows 95/98/Me workstation can print using the 

LPR

 

protocol, you will need to install the client program, as follows: 

1. 

Make sure that you have installed the TCP/IP protocol, and have 
properly configured the Windows 95/98/Me TCP/IP settings.  
You can install the protocol from the Network control panel if 
necessary. 

2. 

From the 

Start

 menu, choose the 

Settings

 submenu, then the 

Control Panel

 item within it.  Windows will display the Control 

Panel folder. 

3. 

Double-click on the Network icon in the Control Panel folder.
