Windows 95/98 Peer-to-Peer Printing Configuration
What is Windows 95/98 Peer-to-Peer Printing?
The peer-to-peer printing software included with the NIC allows Win-
dows 95/98 PCs to communicate directly with network-attached printers.
A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for
peer-to-peer printing. The peer-to-peer printing software must be
installed on each PC that will use peer-to-peer printing. Once this soft-
ware is installed, all NICs on the network automatically appear in the list
of available printer ports.
The peer-to-peer printing software may be used in networks where serv-
ers are present; however, often the server print services are utilized
instead. Served-based print services offer centralized printing manage-
ment and spooling and do not require software (other than the printer
driver) to be installed on each PC.
Optional: Changing the Print Server Name
The peer-to-peer printing software displays the NetWare Print Server
Name to identify the NIC. The default name is the serial number of the
NIC preceded by OTS_ (e.g., OTS_161752). If desired, this name can be
changed to a more easily identifiable name with either the Management
Access Program (MAP) or with a standard browser.
