must add them before continuing with the instructions below. Consult your

Microsoft documentation for more information.

Follow the procedures below to create printers for the print server on a Windows

NT workstation. If there is more than one printer attached to the print server,

perform this procedure once for each attached printer.

1. Go to the Main program group and open the Print Manager.

2. Go to the Print Manager’s Printer menu and choose Create Printer….

3. In the Create Printer’s Printer Name dialog box, enter a name for the printer.

4. Use the Driver pull-down list to choose a printer driver that matches the type

of printer that you are creating on the workstation.

5. In the Description text box, enter a description that helps you remember the

printer.

6. In the Print to: pull-down list, go to the bottom of the list and choose

Other….

LPR Port and choose OK.

you assigned to the print server (see Section 4.1.1).

port of the print server that the target printer is attached to (that is, LPT1,

TCP1).

NOTE

Selecting one of the TCP/IP logical ports will give you added

configuration options, such as turning banner (header and trailer) pages

off and suppressing blank pages when printing to an HP LaserJet

printer.

select it from your application as you would any other printer.

new printer as the workstation’s default printer.
