LAN Manager Host Setup Printing Methods
7 - 3
7.1.2 NetBIOS
To install NetBIOS, first create a service with LAN Manager enabled (see Figure 7-2 ). Note that in
the example below, we’ve also used the Set/Define Server Name command to give the server a
name.

7.1.2.1 Redirecting a Port
Redirecting allows a user to use a service on the RapidPrint 500 as if the RapidPrint 500 parallel
port were on the host machine. To print from NetBIOS, you will need to redirect a port.
1. Choose one of the lpt ports to redirect (typically the ports to choose from will be
lpt1 through lpt4). Make sure that the chosen port doesn’t currently have a
printer connected to it.
2. Double-click the DOS Command Prompt icon to open a DOS session.
3. At the DOS prompt, issue the Net Use command to indicate that the lpt port
will be redirected to the RapidPrint 500 service. In the example below, GRAPH-
ICSERVER
is the name of the RapidPrint 500 and NTX is the name of the ser-
vice.
Figure 7-3: Net Use Command
The Windows NT node will attempt to connect to the RapidPrint 500; if it cannot
do so, it will inform you of the problem. At this point, all references to LPTn (the
port specified with the NET USE command above) will go to the service that you
created. For testing purposes, you can try to use a copy command, if the
RapidPrint 500 is ready to accept data.
4. To make the lpt redirect permanent, use the following command.
Figure 7-4: Making Redirect Permanent
When the host is rebooted, the lpt redirect will be remembered; the host will automatically attempt
to connect to the RapidPrint 500.
