The printer is now ready to accept jobs.
11.1.2 NetBIOS
To install NetBIOS, first create a service with LAN Manager enabled. In the example below, we’ve also
used the Set/Define Server Name command to give the ETS a name.

11.1.2.1 Redirecting a Port
Redirecting allows a user to use a service on the ETS as if the ETS serial or parallel port were on the host
machine.
To print from NetBIOS, you will need to redirect a port:
1
Choose one of the lpt ports to redirect (typically the ports to choose from will be lpt1 through lpt4).
Make sure that the chosen port doesn’t currently have a printer connected to it.
2
Double-click the DOS Command Prompt icon to open a DOS session.
3
At the DOS prompt, issue the Net Use command to indicate that the lpt port will be redirected to the
ETS service. In the example below, GRAPHICSERVER is the name of the ETS and NTX is the
name of the service.
Figure 11-8: Net Use Command
4
The Windows NT node will attempt to connect to the ETS; if it cannot do so, it will inform you of the
problem. At this point, all references to LPTn (the port specified with the NET USE command above)
will go to the service that you created. For testing purposes, you can try to use a copy command.
