Chapter 4  Printing by lpd/lpr (Windows NT)

4-2  KN-304  Network Board

The KN-304 Network Board is provided with the standard print server protocol (lpd) for TCP/IP.  So, you can

use TCP/IP print service (lpr) from a computer of Windows NT 4.0 and up (hereafter noted as Windows NT).

The network protocol used for printing by lpd/lpr is TCP/IP and therefore the KN-304 Network Board must

be set up for TCP/IP in advance.

For each of the Windows NT computers that perform printing by lpd/lpr, it is needed to set up TCP/IP,

Microsoft TCP/IP printing and printer driver.

 Basic TCP/IP setup

Select [Network] from the [Control Panel] of a Windows NT computer that uses a printer via the KN-304

Network Board.  Then the [Network] dialog box appears.  Click the [Configuration] tab and make sure that

[TCP/IP Protocol] exists in the list of Network Protocols.  If it is not found, add TCP/IP.  See Windows NT

Help or something else for how to add TCP/IP.

When “TCP/IP” exists in the [Network Protocols] list, make sure of the values of IP address, etc.  Select

[TCP/IP] and click the Properties button.  The [Microsoft TCP/IP Properties] dialog box appears.  Click the

[IP Address] tab and confirm or define the TCP/IP address and subnet mask assigned to the computer.  Set

up on another panel as necessary.  Click the [OK] button to return to the [Network] dialog box.

Next, click the [Identification] tab in the [Network] dialog box and confirm the name given to the computer.

Click the [OK] button to finish the setup procedure.

Take care to determine the values of parameters.

Consult the network administrator to determine the values of parameters like the IP address.  If

the IP address is inadequate, failures may occur in various locations in the network.
