Set up to print
There are many ways to send a print job, including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD,
point-to-point (LexIP) and various queue-based methods. Instructions for two
of the methods follow.
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server
If you are using Windows NT
Server 4.0 or later and
running TCP/IP, you can use
Network Plug and Print to
automate your printer setup
process.
This section explains the setup for queue-based printing where network users
print to a queue defined on a Windows NT server. The MarkNet print server
services this queue. To use this method, you must have at least one server
running Windows NT Server software and TCP/IP.
The following instructions apply to Windows NT Server versions 4.0 and later.
1
Install the TCP/IP software component on the server that contains the
print queue. This software is necessary to establish the link between the
MarkNet print server and the queue. Look on the Drivers, MarkVision and
Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom install to add network
support, and select TCP/IP.)
2
Set up a print queue on the server. Do this by creating a printer object.
a
Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b
When prompted, select My Computer (not Network printer server).
c
Click Add Port.
d
Select Lexmark Network Port, and then click New Port. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
e
Share the queue.
3
Set up your Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT clients in the usual
way. (Hint: Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.)
