Adding the Windows NT 4.0 driver on a Windows NT 3.51 server


Note: For proper installation, you must use the latest Windows NT 3.51 drivers and Windows NT 4.0 drivers are available from the Tektronix web site:
http://www.tektronix.xerox.com/support/software.html

The following procedure describes how to set up the Windows NT 3.51 server to automatically load your Windows NT 4.0 driver on your Windows NT 4.0 client.


Note: You must have Administrator access on the Windows NT 3.51 server.

Add the printer

  1. From a Windows NT 4.0 client, click the right-mouse button on Network Neighborhood. Select Find Computer.

  2. Type in the name of the Windows NT 3.51 server. Press the Enter key.

  3. Double-click the icon for the Windows NT 3.51 server.

  4. Double-click the Windows NT 3.51 server's Printers folder.

  5. In the Windows NT 3.51 server's Printers folder, double-click Add Printer.


    Note: If you do not have an Add Printer icon, then you are not logged on with an account that has Administrator access on the Windows NT 3.51 server.

    The Add Printer Wizard first dialog box should say Remote print server <3.51 server name>.

  6. Select the port that the printer is connected to.


    Note: You cannot create a port on the 3.51 server from the 4.0 client. You need to create the port on the 3.51 server itself. After the port is created, you can specify that port from the 4.0 client.

Install the driver

  1. In the Add Printer Wizard dialog box, click Have Disk to add a new Tektronix driver.

  2. Type in the path name to the driver files. This can be A: if the files are on a diskette. If these files were downloaded from an on-line service, type in the path name to where they were saved. Click OK.

  3. Select the printer model and click Next.

Enter the printer's name and set up sharing

  1. Type in the printer's name. This can be any name you want. Click Next.

  2. If this printer is to be shared on the network, click the Shared button and highlight all the applicable platforms that may be connecting to this server (Windows NT 4.0 x86 should be one).

Windows NT creates the printer

  1. If you want Windows NT to print a test page after installing the printer driver, click Yes (recommended). If you do not want the Windows NT test page, click No. When finished, click Finish.

  2. When prompted for the Windows NT 3.51 CD-ROM, insert it into your CD-ROM drive and click OK.

  3. Type in the path name to the driver.


    Note: For proper installation, you must use the latest Windows NT 3.51 drivers and Windows NT 4.0 drivers are available from the Tektronix web site:
    http://www.tektronix.xerox.com/support/software.html

The printer should now exist on the Windows NT 3.51 server and have Windows NT 4.0 drivers available. Now any 4.0 client can use that shared printer, and the driver is installed automatically.
