BARR/PRINT TCP/IP

To configure TCP/IP, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.

Complete the following steps to install and configure the TCP/IP protocol.

  1. Open the Network utility.

  2. Right-click the connection to which you want to add a network component, and then click Properties.

  3. If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is listed, skip to Step 6. If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not listed, click Install.

  4. In the Select Network Component Type dialog box, click Protocol, and then click Add.

  5. From the Network Protocol list, select TCP/IP Protocol and click OK.

  6. From the General tab (for local area connections) or the Networking tab (for all other connections), select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

  7. Configure TCP/IP either automatically or manually.

Contact your network administrator to find out if there is a DHCP server installed on your network.

  1. Use the LPR command line to send a test document to BARR/PRINT TCP/IP. This will ensure the software is receiving documents.
