CHAPTER 7
WINDOWS NT (DLC/LLC)
CONFIGURATION
DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows NT as
standard. It can be used on other operating systems (such as
Windows 3.x) with the addition of vendor supplied software
that supports the Hewlett-Packard JetDirect card. If you are
going to use the TCP/IP protocol for printing, refer to the
chapter "Windows NT and LAN Server Network Configuration
(TCP/IP)"
✒
Note
Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a
router between the print server and the sending computer.
Configuring DLC on Windows NT
To use DLC on Windows NT, you must first install the DLC
protocol.
1. Log into Windows NT with administrative privileges. Go to
the NT Control Panel and double click on the Network
icon.
2. On Windows NT 3.5x systems, select Add Software. On
Windows NT 4.0 systems, click on the Protocol tab, and
click Add.
3. Select DLC Protocol and then OK. You will be asked for
the location of the files, for Intel based computers, the
necessary files are stored in the

specify the correct directory on your Windows NT CD-
ROM. Click Continue (for 3.5 ystems) or Close (for 4.0
systems).
