The chapter details the client configuration required on LAN
clients to use the printer or printers attached to the Wireless
Print Server.

Overview

Before performing client configuration, the Wireless Print Server
must be installed on your LAN, and configured as described in
Chapter 3. Both the Wireless Print Server and the attached
printer must be powered ON.

Printing Methods

The Wireless Print Server supports a number of printing methods:
•
Peer-to-peer Printing
It means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and
sent directly to the Wireless Print Server when it is available.
•
Server-based Print Queue
It means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network
Server (e.g. Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the Wireless
Print Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify
the Print Queue. For example, an important job can be moved
to the head of the queue.
•
Windows SMB printing
It is a Microsoft standard for using a Network Printer. No
additional software needs to be installed on your Windows
PC, and printing from MS-DOS programs is supported.
However, because the Wireless Print Server cannot store
files, large print jobs may cause problems.
