In Windows 98/Me you will need to install the LPR client.

For Windows 98/ME you will also need to know the port name that you are printing to (The Port Name is the PS-xxxxxx-P1, x being the actual number listed in the Port Name box).

Installing LPR:

Step 1 Once the file is downloaded and extracted, Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > double-click on Networks. Click on Add

Step 2 Highlight Client and click on Add.

Step 3 Click on Have Disk > Browse. Browse to the location of the extracted LPR Client.

Step 4 Click OK 3 times.

Step 5 From the list highlight LPR for TCP/IP and click on Properties.

Step 6 Click on Add Port

In the top field type in the IP address of your print server. In the bottom field type in the port name of your print server, the Port Name is the PS-xxxxxx-P1, x being the actual number listed in the Port Name box. Click on OK

Step 7 Click on OK. Windows will ask you to restart. Click Yes.

LPR is now properly installed on your computer.

Select Network Printer and click on Next.

Step 3 Click on the Browse button and browse to the print server.

Highlight the Print Server and click on OK to return to the Add Printer Wizard.

Click on Next. If you are unable to do this you can manually enter the Print Server by using two backlashes, the IP address, one backlash and the port name of you printer.

Step 6 Once the drivers have been installed, click Finish to complete the installation. You may be prompted for your Windows CD. If you are prompted for the CD, browse to the Win98 folder on the Windows CD and click on OK
