Internetwork Printing with TCP/IP

Users on any Microsoft networking computer can print to direct-connect TCP/IP printers or to printers that are physically attached to UNIX computers if at least one Windows NT computer has Microsoft TCP/IP printing installed.

Microsoft TCP/IP printing conforms with Request for Comment (RFC) 1179.

This chapter describes how to create a TCP/IP printer when TCP/IP is installed on a Windows NT computer and how to print to a Windows NT print server from a UNIX computer.

The topics in this chapter include:

• Overview of TCP/IP printing
• Setting up Windows NT for TCP/IP printing
• Creating a printer for TCP/IP printing
• Printing to Windows NT from UNIX clients

For complete information about working with printers, see Chapter 6, "Print Manager," in the Windows NT System Guide.
