MS Windows and IBM OS/2 clients.
3.1 Printing From a NetBIOS Workstation
3.1.1 Introduction
FastPort supports native printing from Windows and IBM NetBIOS clients
using the NetBEUI protocol. To perform an installation on a NetBIOS
workstation:
1. Verify that
a. The network settings on the workstation include the NetBEUI
protocol.
b. The SMB or Windows Print and File client services are “bound” to
the NetBEUI protocol. This should have been done by default when
the protocol was first installed onto the system.
2. For Windows programs, refer to:
“Printing from Windows for Workgroups” on page 3-2
“Printing from Windows NT (3.5x)” on page 3-2
“Printing from Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.x (via SMB)” on page
3-3
This section describes how to install a logical Windows printer that will
send print jobs to FastPort.
3. For both DOS and Windows programs, refer to:
“Printing From NetBIOS-supported DOS Workstation” on page 3-4
This section describes how to use the net use command, which
redirects the LPT ports to FastPort.
