94 Configuring for LPD Printing EN
LPD on Windows NT/2000 Systems
This section describes how to configure Windows NT/2000 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 your Windows NT 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—Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Then
double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections folder.
Select the Local Area Connection for your network, then
click the File menu and select 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 Systems”). if not, go to step 2.
■
NT 4.0—Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Then
double-click the Network option to display the Network
dialog box.
If TCP/IP Protocol is listed in the Protocols tab, and Microsoft
TCP/IP Printing is listed in the Services tab, you have already
installed the necessary software. (Proceed to “Configuring a
Network Printer for Windows NT 4.0 Systems.”) If not, go to
step 2.
