Capturing Printers to Ports (Windows 3.1)

Network resources are identified by name, using a standard designed by Microsoft called the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), which is a two part name, consisting of a server name, the name of the computer providing the service or resource, and the resource name, identifying the printer or volume that the network user needs access to.

When the server is set up, it is given a name, and the printers to be shared with other computers on the network are named also. You will need to know the names of these servers and their printers to access them, and you may need a network manager to tell you this information if required, especially in larger sites.

Consult the Windows Operating System Documentation for instructions on installing printers and connecting to network printers.
