Installation in
a Windows
Environment
The several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows
may be used on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well
as in a native Microsoft Windows network. This flexibility
allows various options for setting up the network printing
system even though this NIC does not support Netbeui. If the
Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare network,
configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use
standard Windows/NetWare utilities to provide access to the
printer. If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the
printer using TCP/IP. The following sections describe
installation using TCP/IP under Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95, and Windows NT.
Windows for
Workgroups
Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/
IP capability and the corresponding spooler, lpr; or that the
workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT server
(for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not
shared, an lpr queue must be created on each workstation
from which printing is initiated. See the Windows
documentation about sharing printers.
Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/
IP. However, various TCP/IP facilities are available for
Windows for Workgroups workstations, including a free TCP/
IP provided by Microsoft. There are third party lpr spoolers
available. The following instructions are based on the
Microsoft TCP/IP and a shareware lpr application that is
available from various sources, including the NIC
manufacturer. You will need the files
WFWTCP32.zip
and
WFWTCP32.txt
for the TCP/IP, and
wlprs41.zip
and
wlprspl.txt
for the lpr.
You will need the
BOOTPL.exe
file if you wish to use the
BOOTP Lite program to set up IP parameters. The
BOOTPL.exe
file is provided with the NIC on the NIManage
for Windows diskette.
