AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network
printing in Windows NT 3.5x environments. It allows AXIS Network
Print Servers to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local
printer port and once installed, 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 NetBIOS/NetBEUI and
TCP/IP (LPR). To enable printing in these environments, please
ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.
