Printing from Windows:
Using NetBEUI Protocol
NetBEUI (NetBios Extended User Interface) is a protocol that was designed
for use on small workgroups or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for
file and printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of
printing, but the protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/
IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small business networks or home
networks.
Installation Overview
There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer. These
can be configured using the AdminManager utility (see page 36).

Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remain
PrintServer.
Although there are some differences in configuration options between the
various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is the
same.
Step 1: Ensure that the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows.
This can be confirmed by checking the network settings. If
NetBEUI has not been installed, see “Installing NetBEUI Protocol”
on page 176. The relevant Windows installation CD may be
required.
Step 2: Configure Windows to print to the Network Printer. See
“Configuring Windows to Print to the Network Printer.” on
page 177.
Step 3: Restart your computer.
