To Mount Network Printers on Windows NT

Before you begin this procedure, you must know the names of the server and the printer queue. If you need to find a PCNFSD printer, see "To Browse for Printers on Windows NT". Also, you must have added the Solstice NFS Client service to your network environment.

  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

  2. Double-click the Add Printer icon.

  3. Click Network Printer and click Next.

If the option Expand By Default is not checked, double-click Solstice NFS Client, and then double-click NFS Servers to reveal the NFS print servers.

  4. Double-click an NFS print server to reveal its available printers.

  5. Continue as follows:

    1. To mount a PCNFSD printer.

      Click the printer you want to mount and click OK. The software automatically completes the printer's path name in the Printers field, using the syntax pcnfsd://server_name/printer_queue_name.

    2. To mount an LPR printer.

      Do NOT select a printer from the list, but type its path name in the Printers field, using the syntax lpr://server_name/printer_queue_name.

  6. Click OK to dismiss the informational message that appears.

  7. Select the manufacturer and printer model from the lists and click OK.

  9. Click Finish.
