Chapter 8 Windows Host Configuration
Windows 95/98 Host Setup
To configure a new printer on a Windows 95 station:
1. Select “Settings:Printers” from the Start menu.
2. Double click on the “Add Printer” icon.
3. Select “Network Printer” from the second window of the Add Printer
wizard that loaded.
4. At the next window, click on BROWSE to help fill in the network path of
this printer.
5. At the “Browse for Printer” dialogue box that displays, double click on the
appropriate workgroup containing the LineJet Print Server. By default, the
print server falls under the workgroup, “WORKGROUP.”
6. Continue searching the network until you see the LineJet Print Server
name,
M_
xxxxxx
, where
xxxxxx
equals the last six digits of the print
server Ethernet address found when a configuration is printed.
7. Once you see the LineJet Print Server, double click on it to display a list of
pre-defined destinations/queues to choose from.
8. Select a destination/queue that will use d1prn.
9. Click OK once you have selected a destination.
10. Back at the network path window, select NEXT since this path should now
be filled in for you.
11. At the next window, select the appropriate print driver and click on NEXT.
12. Fill in a name for this new network printer at the next window and decide if
you want this to be the default printer. This printer name can be anything
you would like as long as it is unique.
13. When prompted for a test page, select either “Yes” or “No” depending on
the state of the attached printer and click on FINISH.
Windows may ask for a disk or CD-ROM to load the appropriate printer driver
to complete this new printer setup.
There should now be a new printer icon within the Printers folder. This new
network printer relies on NetBIOS over TCP/IP as the underlying protocol to
print to the LineJet Print Server.
Printronix Printing System (PPS) Host Setup
To configure a PPS LPR port for a printer on a Windows station, you will need
to:
1. Insert the CD and locate the “PPS” file in the Utilities section.
2. Double click on the PPS ZIP file to extract all files within it to a directory
on the Windows station.
3. Once extracted to a directory, find the Setup file and double click on this
to load the InstallShield Wizard.
4. Answer the prompts throughout the wizard and select “Yes” to restart
your computer at the end.
