Windows Environment Description

The NIC supports network printing under Windows environments
by using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT setup, pure TCP/IP is used as
the network protocol whereas with Windows 95/98 or Windows
Me , NetBIOS is used over TCP/IP.
The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT/2000
server to be shared by Windows 95/98/Me clients. However, any
Windows station can also go directly to the NIC.
