6a1 - TCP/IP Peer to Peer (LPR) Printing
Note: As the ability to create an LPR Port is not included with Windows 95/98/Me Operating Systems, in order
to create an LPR Port with these Operating Systems you need to install a Print Utility (Spooler) program on your
workstation. One example of such a program is "DigiLPR." A second example is "ACITS LPR Remote Printing."
1.
Install a Print Utility (Spooler) program on your workstation following the instructions that accompany the
program.
Note: Depending upon the Print Utility you use, you may need to add a local printer and then "Add Port,"
or you may create the printer and port in one continuous installation process. Make sure to know the
location of your driver files in case the Print Utility (Spooler) program calls for them. If the driver files are
called for, the installation procedure will be very similar to that described below.
2.
Use the Print Utility (Spooler) program to create an LPR Port on your workstation. Type in the IP
address of the Printer for the "Name or address of server providing lpd." Type in the case-sensitive
name of your Printer, or enter in the word
raw for "Name of printer or print queue on that server."
3.
Click the appropriate button (for example, Apply or OK) in your Print Utility (Spooler) program to save
your settings and create the LPR Port.
