Setting Up Peer-to-Peer Printing
The peer-to-peer printing software that is included in the CD-ROM labeled
"Print Server Software and Documentation" allows Windows 95/98 PCs to com-
municate directly with network attached printers. A network server, such as
NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer-to-peer printing.
There are two types of peer-to-peer printing. You can select "IP Peer-to-Peer" or
3
"IPX Peer-to-Peer" according to your network environment.
The peer-to-peer printing software must be installed on each PC that uses peer-
to-peer printing. Once peer-to-peer printing software is installed, all Network
Interface Boards on the network automatically appear in the list of available
printer ports.
The peer-to-peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers
are present; however, the server print services are often utilized instead. Server
based print services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do
not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.
If you use the printer in a network where servers are present, select either peer-
to-peer printing or the server based print service.
