Windows NT Configuration
There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.
♦
If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by
following the NetWare Configuration instructions in this guide.
♦
Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows 95
instructions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.x, not for
Windows NT 3.51. Peer to peer print services use the IPX protocol and may
be preferable when TCP/IP setup is not desired.

Windows NT printing is very flexible. It is possible to configure the individual
Windows NT or Windows 95 workstations to print using a different protocol than
the Windows NT server. For example, a Windows NT server could be configured
to print to a NIC via TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The NIC could
then be designated as shared on the NT server, allowing workstations to print via
the NT server using a different protocol (such as the default NetBEUI).

The Optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends upon the particular
environment and user and administrator experience and preferences. Generally,
the LPR printing over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the best
choice for environments where TCP/IP is already in use.

TCP/IP Required Components
The Windows NT system performing the NIC configuration must have the TCP/IP
protocol installed. The following steps describe how to check for and, if
