5 LPD Printing (Windows NT 4.0)
Print Server
Function
Windows NT 4.0 systems are so-called server-based networks. A
server provides workstations located in the network with certain
services. Services include, among other things, the administration of
jointly used data sources and print services, all of which ensure the
joint usage of printers in the network.
While printing is being carried out in Windows NT 4.0, the print data
is loaded into the network as an LPD protocol by means of the LPR
port and sent to the IP address of the print server. The print server
receives the print data and routes it to the printer.

In order to install the print server in Windows NT 4.0, you must first
install the TCP/IP protocol and the TCP/IP print services.
With the configuration of the LPR ports, the LPD protocol can
automatically be used for printing.
Requirements
; Make sure that Service Pack 5 or later has been installed on your
Windows NT 4.0 system.
