9 Mark the “Print Net Jobs Direct” checkbox.
With this option marked, MS Windows bypasses the Print Manager and prints
directly to the network print queue, giving you optimal printing performance.
10 Exit the “Network Options” dialog box by choosing “OK.”
If you are running applications that print to a port, such as LPT1, see the
manufacturer’s documentation for information about print drivers.
Using a Local Printer on the Network
To access a parallel or serial printer through the network that is cabled to a
workstation running MS Windows 3.0 or 3.1, do only one of the following:
• Configure the printers to use polled mode instead of a specific interrupt number.
• Set the workstation to use a specific interrupt.
Add the following lines to the SYSTEM.INI file under the [386Enh] section:
lpt1autoassign=0
lpt1irq=-1
Replace lpt1 with the port that the printer is cabled to (LPT2, COM1, COM2,
etc.).
