Peer-to-peer Utility

The peer-to-peer utility allows this machine to be used as a network printer for Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/2000 in the peer-to-peer
network with no server computer. Installing the peer-to-peer utility allows print data from a computer to be sent directly to this
machine.
Install the peer-to-peer utility to each computer from which you would like to send print data to this machine. There are two
types of the peer-to-peer utility: for TCP/IP protocol and for IPX/SPX protocol.
Choose either one according to the network protocol that you use.
