Print Server
Function
Windows NT 3.51 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 3.51, 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 3.51, you must first
install the TCP/IP services. It is also useful to install FTP services. This
allows you to open an FTP connection to transfer print data and
change parameters.
With the configuration of the LPR ports, the LPD protocol can
automatically be used for printing.
