Windows 95/98/Me Configuration

This section describes how to configure the Peer-to-peer printing. The Peer-to-
peer printing software that is included on the CD-ROM labeled "Printer Drivers
and Utilities". "Print Server Software and Documentation" allows Windows 95/
98/Me PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network
server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for Peer-to-peer print-
ing.
There are three types of Peer-to-peer printing. You can select "SmartNetMonitor
for Admin/Client", "IP Peer-to-Peer" and "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, server based print services are often utilized instead. Serv-
er 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.

for the Network with the Operation Panel" in "Printer Reference 1".
