Solstice NFS Client 3.2 User's Guide for Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT

To Set Up the LPD Server

Note -

The Solstice File and Printer Sharing service should be added automatically as part of your installation. However, if it does not appear in the Network Properties page of the Control Panel, you must add it manually. See "To Enable File and Printer Sharing on Windows 95".

  1. From the taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.

    The Network Properties dialog box opens.

  2. Select Solstice File And Printer Sharing and click Properties.

  3. Click the Printer Sharing tab.

  4. Select Enable Solstice LPD Server.

    This starts the LPD Print Server daemon on the PC. The option is enabled by default.

  5. If you want to log the print activities in a log file:

    1. Select Log LPD Server Activity.

    2. (Optional) Select a different font and point size for the LPD Print Server messages that are written in the log file.

      The fonts listed are those installed on the PC.

  6. Select the PC printer from the list in the Add Printer dialog box and click OK. Remain in the Properties dialog box.

  7. In Queue Name, enter a printer queue name. For example: dopey_laser.

    The printer's queue name must follow the naming rules and conventions of UNIX printer queues. The first character cannot be a number, and the length of the queue name cannot exceed fourteen characters.

  8. Accept Detect Automatically (default) as the file type checking option.

  9. Decide how the printer driver should interpret carriage returns and line feeds when formatting binary files to be printed.

    Choosing Assume Binary as the file type affects how the printer driver interprets carriage returns and line feeds. See "Interpreting Carriage Returns and Line Feeds" for more information about your choices.

  10. (Optional) Replace the default spool directory c:\tmp with a directory of your choice. For example: pc_spool.

    The directory will be created if it does not exist.

  11. Click OK.

    The LPD Print Server daemon starts and the LPD Print Server icon appears in the taskbar status area.
