Peer-to-Peer Printing
Client-server operation requires only one user to install the AXIS Print
Utility for Windows software onto their workstation. This user then
adds the printer to his or her workstation (the server) and shares the
printer with other users on the network. The other users (the clients)
can connect to the printer through the server via the Windows Print
Manager.
The client-server mode provides a way of maintaining queue ordering
and job priority, but at a price. This is because:
• You cannot receive printer status or print job notification.
• The workstation, setup as the server, must be available at all times.
It must also have the capacity to handle the print jobs that pass
through it.
Notes:
• When using the client-server mode, other users can still install the AXIS Print
Utility for Windows software, for printing directly to the network printer in
peer-to-peer mode.
• When using the client-server mode, it is recommended that the server is
setup only on a Windows for Workgroups workstation.
In order to print to a network printer, Windows 3.1 requires the
installation of network support, such as the LAN Server or LAN
Manager Workstation software. When installed, proceed as described
under Windows for Workgroups below.
