Windows Configuration 5-3
The Windows clients accessing a printer do not necessarily need to use the same
protocol that the Windows host uses to communicate with the printer. For example, a
printer connected to an LPR spooler via TCP/IP on a Windows 95 host, could be
accessed by a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client using the standard Windows
Netbeui protocol; even when TCP/IP is not installed on the Windows for Workgroups
3.11 client. This capability to host a shared printer over a different protocol than that
used by the clients provides tremendous flexibility in Windows network printing
architecture.
5.3.3 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Shared Access Printing
5.4.4 Windows 95/98 Shared Access Printing
5.5.3 Windows NT 3.51 Shared Access Printing
5.6.4 Windows NT 4.0 Shared Access Printing
5.2 Windows 3.1
Windows 3.1 is the oldest and least flexible of the Windows versions covered in this
manual. Windows 3.1 network printing capability is limited to Novell NetWare
printing. Prior to printing from the Windows clients via NetWare, the 2000E must be
configured for NetWare printing. Please refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on NetWare
printing configuration of the 2000E.
Once NetWare printing is configured, Windows 3.1 clients access the 2000E NetWare
print queue by issuing a CAPTURE command (often in the user login script) or
through Control Panel, Printers, Connect, Network. See your NetWare documentation
for additional information.

Prior to printing from the Windows clients via NetWare, the 2000E must be
configured for NetWare printing. Please refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on NetWare
printing configuration of the 2000E.
