(Printer Driver already installed)
Follow these steps if the printer driver is already installed.
1. Click on Start then select Settings/Printers to display the currently installed
printer drivers.
2. Double click the printer driver you wish to configure and select Printer menu
and then choose Properties.
3. Select the Ports tab and click on Add Port.
4. Select LPR Port (LPR Port will not be displayed unless you install the
"Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" protocol as described earlier) from the list of
available ports and click on New Port.
5. Type in the IP address that you assigned to the print server in the Name or
address of server providing lpd: box. If you have edited your HOSTS file or
are using Domain Name System, you can enter the name associated with the
print server, instead of an IP address. As the print server supports TCP/IP
and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print
server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in your print configuration sheet.
From default the NetBIOS name will appear as "BRN_xxxxxx" where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
6. Type in the print server service name in the Name of printer or print queue
on that server: box. If you do not know which service name to use, enter
BINARY_P1 and then click on OK:
