1) On your printer object RMC and select Properties.
2) Select the Output Port tab
3) Double LM click on \port\LPD0
4) Under Print Destination:
a) in LPD Server: type in the IP address of the SMC
b) in LPD Printer: type in lpt1 (this is the name of the port in the SMC)
(for those that have a 7004BR type in lp (lower LP) instead)
5) Select OK
6) Close the Properties window

Now you should be in business. (I can't remember if you need to reboot. I don't think so but be
aware that a reboot may be required.)
