Configuring a Network Printer for
Windows NT 4.0 Systems
At the Windows NT 4.0 system, set up the default printer by
performing the following steps.
1. Click
Start
, select
Settings
, and click
Printers
. The
Printers
window opens.
2. Double-click
Add Printer
.
3. Select
My Computer
, then click
Next
.
4. Click
Add Port
.
5. Select
LPR Port
, and click
New Port
.
6. In the
Name or address of server providing lpd
box, type the IP
address or DNS name of the HP Jetdirect print server.
Note
NT clients can enter the IP address or name of the
NT server that is configured for LPD printing.
7. In the
Name of printer or print queue on that server
box, type (in
lowercase)
raw
,
text
,
binps
,
auto
, or the name of a
user-defined print queue (user-defined print queues can be set
up through the embedded Web server, see
Chapter 4
). Then
click
OK
.
The HP Jetdirect print server treats
text
files as unformatted
text or ASCII files. Files that are
raw
are formatted files in PCL,
PostScript, or HP-GL/2 printer languages. If the queue type is
binps
, the PostScript interpreter is instructed to interpret the
print job as binary PostScript data.
Note
For a three-port HP Jetdirect external print server,
attach a port number to the queue name (for
example,
raw1
,
raw2
, or
raw3
).
8. Ensure that the port is selected in the
Add Printer
list of the
available ports, then click
Next
.
9. Follow the remaining instructions on the screen to complete the
configuration.
