Configuring the Printer Driver for LPR Printing
The printer driver should be installed from the CD which is shipped with the printer.
Unfortunately, Windows does not make the Add LPR Port available to the Install Wizard
on the CD. Therefore, the printer driver should be installed selecting a standard port
such as LPT1. Once the driver installation is completed, the driver port setting should
be modified for LPR printing using the following procedure.
1. Click on the Windows Start button and select
Settings
, and then
Printers
.
2. Right click on the appropriate printer and select
Properties
.
3. On the
Ports
tab, click on
Add Port.
4. Double click on
LPR Port
in the list of available printer ports.
5. In the
Name or address of server providing lpd:
field, enter the 3000E IP
address or the 3000E NetBIOS name (see the WINS Configuration section for
more information on using the NetBIOS name).
6. In the
Name of printer or print queue on that server:
field, enter any desired port
name, e.g.
LPR1
, and click on
OK
.
7. Click on
Close
to close the Printer Ports dialog. The 3000E IP address is now
displayed and currently selected on the list of ports.
8. If the printer is to be shared, click on the
Sharing
tab, select
Shared
and enter the
Share name. Click on
OK
when finished.
