March 4, 1999
A. If you have a printer that has its own network card and IP address, you can create a queue to the device by following the instructions below
Login as a member of the Administrators Group
Start Control Panel (Start - Settings - Control Panel)
Double Click Network, and select the Services tab
Click Add, and select "Microsoft TCP/IP printing"
Click OK and then Close
Click "Yes" to the reboot
After the machine has booted up Double Click "My Computer" (or what you have named it to, you have renamed it!)
Double click Printers, and select Add Printer
Select the Printer is a local printer, and then continue
Click Add Port, and select "LPR port"
Click New Port and fill in the IP address of the printer in the top box, and a name in the bottom box
Click OK, and ignore the error about not being able to communicate
Click Next and then select the printer driver
Click Next and select if you want to share it, and then click Finish
Print and be happy
