DNS/WINS NetBIOS Name Resolution

To use the Device's NetBIOS name over the TCP/IP Network, the DNS and WINS Servers MUST be
configured for NetBIOS name to IP address resolution. Also, make sure that the Device is informed of
the addresses of the DNS/WINS Servers, using the instructions supplied under the Configure TCP/IP
Settings

procedure in the Internet Services section of this guide.

To Set Up a Workstation to Print Directly to the Device

Refer to the set up instructions supplied for NetBIOS over IP Peer to Peer Printing in the Print Drivers
section of this guide or, if you are an EXPERIENCED SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR, perform the following
steps:

1. On NT4 workstations, verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed and that it is configured for DNS

resolution

of the NetBIOS Host Name. Verify that BOTH Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Services and

Workstation

(SMB client) Services are installed.

2. On 95/98/Me workstations, verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed and that it is configured for

DNS resolution

of the NetBIOS Host Name. Verify that the Client for Microsoft Networks is

installed and that the workstation has a Computer (NetBIOS) Name and is a member of a Workgroup.

3. Create

an

LPR port

on your NT4 Operating System. Use a Print Utility (Spooler) program (such as

ACITS) to create an LPR port on the Windows 95/98/Me workstation.

4. When prompted for the "Name or address of server providing lpd" enter in the Device's SMB Host

Name

as seen on the Device's Settings List.

5. When prompted for a queue name, enter in your preference of an easily-identified name for this

Device.

6. Install the Print driver on your workstation and, when prompted to select a port to print through, select

the LPR port that you just created.

7. Print a Test Print to verify successful communications with the device.
