Client Setup
Windows SMB Printing
This method requires no additional software to be installed, but the NetBEUI or TCP/IP
protocol must be installed on your PC. Use the following procedure to install the LevelOne
Printer Server's printer as a Windows SMB network printer:
1. Double-click
the
Network Neighborhood
icon on the desktop.
2. On
the
View
menu, select
Details
.
3. Locate the desired LevelOne Printer Server, as shown below:
•
If it is the same Workgroup as your PC, it will be listed on screen.
•
If it is in a different workgroup, double-click
Entire Network
, then double-click the
appropriate Workgroup to open it.

The "Comment" field may indicate what type of printer is connected to the port.

For information about the question "Do you print from MS-DOS programs?", see
Printing from MS-DOS Programs
below.
•
Select the Printer Manufacturer and Model to match the printer connected to this port
on the LevelOne Printer Server, and complete the Wizard.
7. This printer will now appear in your
Printers
folder (
Start - Settings - Printers
) and can be
used like any other printer. However, SMB printing is not suitable for large complex print
jobs - you should use the
Peer-to-peer Printing
instead.
