Pi5500 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0
Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0 server
Each client of a Windows NT 4.0 server is already using a network protocol to
communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Pi5500 if it has been shared
by a Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation computer. In that
case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the
Windows NT 4.0 server as the server uses to communicate with the Pi5500.

For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients, before printing, connect to the print server
computer and select the Pi5500. Right-click the mouse and choose the Open
command. When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.
After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page
Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for
their own job, but printer properties appear dimmed and unavailable for changing.
When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0 print
server, and from there to the selected queue on the Pi5500. The job is listed in the
Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the
Pi5500 window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0 print server.
