Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX
2.2.5.2 Shared client printer
It is also possible to route the output of the printer spooler to a printer which is connected
to a client (shared client printer). For further information, please refer to the manuals entitled
"MS Network Client V2.2"
2.2.5.3 Printer server
The output of the printer spooler can also be routed to server and client systems that can
share a printer resource (e.g. Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT).
2.2.5.4 Sharing a printer
The administrator shares the printer queue on the server (with the computername server1).
For example, you can enable a printer group or class with the sharename sp1 using the
net share sp1 /print command.
For example, the user of the client with the computername cl3 links to a shared printer. To
do this, he/she assigns the network name \\server1\sp1 with lpt1 using the command (in the
MS-DOS naming conventions) net use lpt1: \\server1\sp1. The user can now work on lpt1: for
all print jobs as he/she would on a local printer.

2.2.6 Interprocess communication resource, IPC$
Advanced Server for UNIX can be used to implement distributed applications: Application
processes on the server system exchange data over the network with application
processes on clients. The resource IPC$ enables this communication using LM named
pipes and mailslots.
Special functions also allow the administration of Advanced Server for UNIX using
programs. For additional information please refer to the manual
manual pages for the API, which are supplied with Advanced Server for UNIX. The
