Peer to Peer Printing Configuration
What is Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing
The peer to peer printing software which is included with the EcoLAN 1000E allows
Windows 95 PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network
server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer printing.
The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use peer to
peer printing. Once the peer to peer printing software is installed, all EcoLAN 1000E
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, often the server print services are utilized instead. Server-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.
Optional: Changing the Print Server Name
The peer to peer printing software displays the NetWare Print Server Name to
identify the 1000E. The default name is the serial number preceded by KYO, e.g.,
KYO-163495. If desired, this name can be changed to a more easily identifiable
name with either the Management Access Program (MAP) or with a standard
browser.
With the Management Access Program
Follow the MAP Configuration instructions in the NetWare 4.x Directory Services
Configuration section in this guide (the settings other than NetWare Print Server
Name do not need to be entered). The MAP utility requires a NetWare server to be
present.
With a Browser
Connecting to the 1000E with a browser requires the TCP/IP protocol to be loaded
on the browser workstation and requires setting an IP address for the 1000E. The
1000E IP address may be set by following the TCP/IP Configuration instructions in
the Windows NT Configuration section in this guide.
After setting the 1000E IP parameters, connect to the 1000E with the browser by
typing, http://<IP address>, e.g. http://192.42.211.5 At the
1000E Home Page, click on 1000E Configuration and follow the MAP Configuration
instructions (beginning with step 3) in the NetWare 4.x Directory Services Configura-
tion section in this guide (the settings other than NetWare Print Server Name do not
need to be entered).
