The Colorwriter is ready to accept parallel print jobs from your computer, using
the Windows NT PostScript printer driver and the Colorwriter PPD. When you
select Print, your PostScript files are transmitted over the parallel port connection
to the Colorwriter. The network administrator should verify the parallel port
connection by printing a simple document to LPT1, the designated port.
Completing the Windows NT TCP/IP connection
In the section “Setting up printing from Windows NT” on pages 6-26 to 6-30,

Complete the setup for the TCP/IP and lpr connection as follows:
•
Set up the Colorwriter to accept print jobs using TCP/IP and lpr protocols.
•
Configure the Windows NT system for the TCP/IP connection.
