NetBEUI Protocol
NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups or
LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing
between computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but the
protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX.
Typically it is employed in small or home networks.
Network Printer Settings
There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer.
These can be configured using the standard set-up utility described in
Chapter 1.

Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remain PrintServer.
Although there are some differences in configuration options between the
various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is
the same.
Please ensure the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows. This
can be confirmed by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI has not
been installed please refer to the section below.
