LPD on Windows 2000/Server 2003 Systems
This section describes how to configure supported Windows networks to use the HP Jetdirect LPD (Line
Printer Daemon) services.
The process consists of two parts:
●
Installing TCP/IP software (if not already installed).
●
Configuring a network LPD printer.
Installing TCP/IP Software
This procedure lets you check whether you have TCP/IP installed on a supported Windows system, and
to install the software if necessary.
NOTE: You may need your Windows System distribution files or CD-ROMs to install TCP/IP
components.
1. To check whether you have Microsoft TCP/IP Printing protocol and TCP/IP printing support:
●
Windows 2000/Server 2003—
Windows 2000: Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Then double-click the Network and
Dial-up Connections folder. Double-click the Local Area Connection for your network and
click Properties.
Server 2003: Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, and open the
Network Connections folder. Double-click the Local Area Connection for your network and
click Properties.
If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is listed and enabled in the list of components used by this
connection, the necessary software is already installed. (Proceed to “
Configuring a Network
Printer for Windows 2000/Server 2003 Systems on page 160”). If not, go to step 2.
2. If you have not previously installed the software:
●
Windows 2000/Server 2003—In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click
Install. In the Select Network Component Type window, select Protocol and click Add to
add the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Enter TCP/IP configuration values for the computer:
●
Windows 2000/Server 2003—On the General tab in the Local Area Connection
Properties window, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
If you are configuring a Windows server, type the IP address, default gateway address, and subnet
mask in the appropriate spaces.
If you are configuring a client, check with your Network Administrator to learn whether you should
enable automatic TCP/IP configuration or whether you should type a static IP address, default
gateway address, and subnet mask in the appropriate spaces.
4. Click OK to exit.
5. If prompted, exit Windows and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
