AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network

AXIS Print Monitor is available free of charge on www.axis.com
AXIS Print Monitor allows an AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e to be
Overview
connected in the same simple fashion as connecting a local printer.
Once installed, it is automatically initialized upon system startup.
AXIS Print Monitor has been developed for peer-to-peer printing,
allowing your print jobs to be sent directly to the print server.
AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over TCP/IP (LPR and Raw TCP)
and NetBIOS/NetBEUI. To enable printing in these environments,
please ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your
client.
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor
allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were
connected directly to your workstation.
AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to
perform client/server printing. The installed printers must be
configured to be shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up
messages should not be enabled on the server as they will not be
displayed on the client platforms.
Note:
AXIS Print Monitor can also be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the AXIS
Print Monitor's Readme file for instructions. The Readme file is located in the
same folder where AXIS Print Monitor is installed on your PC.
