Note: You may encounter problems printing with IPX/SPX in Windows NT
4.0. Larger print jobs may stop mid-page and continuously re-spool. We
recommend that you use TCP/IP instead.
There are two methods for configuring the printer onto the network.

program does not run automatically, access File Manager or Explorer and
