Having connected the Axis Network Print Server to your network, as
described in "Connect the Hardware" on page 13, this section describes
how to install the Axis Network Print Server in the Windows
environment. Identify your Windows platform and follow the installing
instructions from the list below.
Refer to the table below to determine the most appropriate installation
method according to your computer environment:
Windows
Printing Protocol
Platform
Windows 2000,
TCP/IP (LPR)
XP, Server 2003
Windows 2000 NetBIOS/NetBEUI
TCP/IP (LPR)
Windows NT
NetBIOS/NetBEUI
TCP/IP (LPR)
Windows 98, Me
NetBIOS/NetBEUI
If you intend to operate your Axis Network Print Server in a multi-
protocol environment, you should also proceed to the other relevant
sections in this manual.
For client/server printing, each computer sends print jobs through a
network server computer.
The printer must first be installed on the server computer (from the Add
Printer Wizard, AXIS Print Monitor) and then shared on the network,
which makes it a network printer. It will then appear as a Network
Printer (in Windows Add Printer Wizard and in AXIS Print Monitor) on
the client computers. Each client computer must install the appropriate
printer drivers in order to print properly.
For Windows 98 and Me, it is only necessary to install AXIS Print Monitor on a server for
client/server printing.
