Alternative Method for
LPR Printing
If you wish to print over LPR but do not wish to install Print Services for
Unix you can do this by changing the printing protocol after having
installed the printer using the Standard TCP/IP method, see “Adding
Printers in Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 using Windows Add Printer
Wizard” on page 30 for instructions.
Once the printer is installed, follow these instructions to change the
printing protocol:
1. Go to Start | Settings | Printers.
2. Double-click the installed printer.
3. Select Properties from the Printer menu.
4. Click the Ports tab.
5. Click the Configure Port button.
6. Click the LPR radio button and enter the queue name (PR1, PR2...).
7. Click OK to finish.

setup procedures prior to installing a printer for LPR printing.
