O
VERVIEW
The NEC PrintAgent is innovative software that allows you
to print over the web in two ways, Remote Printing and Pull
Printing. The NEC PrintAgent is powered by Redips® Core
software, and available just by browsing to your Printer
Home Page.
Printer Home Page Features
The URL is the IP address or host name
you assign to the Printer,
for example, http://131.241.045.065

NEC PrintAgent Remote Printing

Remote Printing is the easiest way for Windows 95/98 users
to print over the web and get instant printer status at your
desktop. You can print to any SuperScript 4400N printer
anywhere, as long as you have its URL.
All you do is browse to the printer's Home Page and
download/install the NEC PrintAgent software to your
system. When you print with that special driver, the job goes
over the web to the printer, and printer status comes back to
your desktop on the PrintAgent window. The first part of this
chapter covers the following topics about Remote Printing.
• System Requirements
• Easy Remote Printing Setup
• Remote Printing From Your Desktop
• Getting Printer Status
• PrintAgent Features

NEC PrintAgent Pull Printing

Pull Printing is an ideal solution for busy offices that print
long, complex, or color rich documents. With Pull Printing,
your job is sent to a Pull Printing server to be processed. Then
the Pull Printing server delivers the job to the printer. This
frees your computer faster, and reduces network traffic. You
can also set up a secondary server to deliver printer Help files
and drivers to users, making the printer more efficient.
Pull Printing is also called "driverless" printing because you
don't need a SuperScript 4400 printer driver on your system.
You can pull print any Microsoft Office 97, .PDF file, or web
page without opening it— just by sending its location to the
Pull Printing server. The server does all the work and leaves
your computer free for other tasks. The second part of this
chapter covers the following topics about Pull Printing.
• System Requirements
• Server Installation
• Configuring URLs
• Changing PWS settings
• Starting the Pull Printing Server
• Pull Printing from Your Desktop
