Adding a
Windows NT 3.x driver
|
|
This update procedure provides printer page size information for Windows NT applications. However, TekColor color corrections and other PostScript Level 2 features are not supported by the Windows NT driver. Refer to your printer's user documentation for instructions on other ways of selecting color corrections. Refer to your Microsoft Windows NT documentation for details on features in the Windows NT driver.
These instructions assume a basic familiarity with Windows NT operation and terminology. For additional information about Windows NT, refer to your Microsoft Windows NT documentation.

Under
Print to, scroll to the end of the list and select
Other; the
Printer port
dialog box appears. Xerox printers support two types of network ports in Windows NT: LPR and AppleTalk. The next topic covers LPR ports; for information on creating an AppleTalk port, see
Creating an AppleTalk port.
Creating an LPR port
-
In the
Printer Port
dialog box, click the
LPR
port. If the LPR port is not listed in the
Printer Port
dialog box, the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Service needs to be added to the Windows NT machine:
-
In the
Control Panel, double-click
Network; the
Network Settings
dialog box appears.
-
In
Network Settings, click
Add Software; the
Add Network Software
dialog box appears.
-
In the
Add Network Software
dialog box, click the drop-down menu for
Network Software. In the list, select
TCP/IP Protocol and Related Components, then click
Continue; the
TCP/IP Installation
dialog box appears.
-
In the
TCP/IP Installation
dialog box, select
TCP/IP Network Printing Support. (Consult your Windows NT documentation for information on other TCP/IP options.)
-
Click
Continue
to install this service. The original Windows NT distribution diskettes are needed during installation. To apply these changes, restart Windows NT.
-
In the
Add LPR compatible printer
dialog box, enter your printer's IP address in the field named
Name or address of server providing lpd. In the field named
Name of printer or print queue on that server, enter
PS
or
AUTO
in UPPERCASE letters.
Creating an AppleTalk port
-
In the
Printer Port
dialog box, double-click the
AppleTalk Printing Devices
port. If the
AppleTalk Printing Devices
port is not listed in the
Printer Port
dialog box, the Microsoft Services for Macintosh needs to be added to the Windows NT machine:
-
In
Control Panel, double-click
Network; the
Network Settings
dialog box appears.
-
In the
Network Settings
dialog box, click
Add Software; the
Add Network Software
dialog box appears.
-
In the
Add Network Software
dialog box, click the drop down menu for
Network Software. In the list, select
Services for Macintosh, then click
OK
to install the service. The original Windows NT distribution diskettes are needed during installation. To apply these changes, restart Windows NT.
-
In the
Available AppleTalk Printing Devices
dialog box, select the zone where the printer resides. If no zone name appears, double-click the zone icon.
-
Windows NT searches for all AppleTalk devices in that zone and displays a list; double click your printer.
-
Windows NT prompts you to capture the printer; click
No. (Capturing the printer causes it to disappear from the
Chooser.)
Set up sharing
If this printer is to be shared on the network, perform the following steps:
-
In the
Create Printer
dialog box, check the option
Share this printer on the network.
-
Enter any name you want for the
Share Name.
