7116.0. "LSR2000 +, Windows95 and TCP/IP" by JULIET::CABREIRA_RO (Bobby Cabreira) Mon Mar 10 1997 00:58

    Will the LSR 2000+ work in a Windows 95 environment, using the TCP/IP
    stack?   Also,  has anybody installed the Downloader and Spooler on
    Windows 95 again using TCP/IP?
    
    Can someone point me to the proper installation procedures for them.
    
    
    thanks in advance,

7116.1should work just fineREGENT::LASKOTim - Printing Systems BusinessMon Mar 10 1997 12:024
    That was one of the configurations we tested extensively (almost
    exclusively on Windows 95) here. The documentation is in the Getting
    Started manual. Just remember to select TCP/IP when installing the
    Colorwriter LSR software.
7116.2what manualJULIET::CABREIRA_ROBobby CabreiraMon Mar 10 1997 18:559
    I was looking at the Getting started manual,  and all it had was to set
    up Windows 95 in a Novell IPX environment and a parallel  interface  
    connection.
    
    Can somebody point me to right documentation set?
    
    thanks,

    I missed the first half of your question. You can use the utilities
    over IP on a Windows 95 system but you cannot print directly from
    Windows 95 to the Colorwriter over TCP/IP. You need to set up a server
    queue (NT, OpenVMS, etc.) and then connect to that share name to print
    the document. That isn't documented but it's basically the same steps
    as the IPX setup, except that in steps 2 you make sure IP is enabled,
    and steps 7 and 8 you browse the network for the queue share.
    
    The utilities do work directly over TCP/IP to the Colorwriter.

    To print to the LSR2000 from Win95 directly you can use a piece
    of SHAREWARE called WLPRSPL. With this shareware you can create
    a spool file that points directly to the LSR printer.
    
     The shareware files reside on
    
       CPTS11::CPTS11$DKA100:[DRIVERS_SERVICE.DEC.LSR2000.W95]*.*
    
    Setting up takes a little time but should not present any problems.
    
    NOTE: Normal shareware rules apply, use the software and pay the fee !!
    
    
     Mark.
