| 678675 | 2008-06-15 10:33:00 | Hi guys, i've acquired an old style print server in amongst some networking gear (including some Ethernet 10baseT to thin net 10base2 adaptors which the server is hooked up to) i've configured the IP address and can ping and telnet into it but how do you actually print (using windows 3.1x and up if possible):help: ip for server is 192.168.1.254 |

| 678677 | 2008-06-15 12:53:00 | I think you need Win 3.11 for networking a printer. Been a long time. | Sweep (90) | ||

| 678680 | 2008-06-15 20:46:00 | I have a Linksys Print server. I access it via web browser to set up IP's passwords etc. To add it to the PC's and Laptop I have to add an IPP Port (Internet Printing Protocol). The computers see it as an IPP Port rather than LPT or USB port. |

| 678681 | 2008-06-16 09:27:00 | DUDE, do you know how old this print server is lol. its ancient, it uses Telnet to config it and TCP/IP LPR service to print, and a Thin net (10base2) network port all of which are reasonably obsolete but still functional. | williamF (115) | ||
| 678682 | 2008-06-17 13:51:00 | also i've set up a very small 10base2 network as well as the print server, got another T connector so can add another few computers on. ok its a bit slower (10Mbit as opposed to 100Mbit) but still use on modern RJ45 PCs as well (10baseT to 10base2 adaptors with 50ohm terminators in the end adaptors) | williamF (115) | ||
