Client-Server Printing
Note:
AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network
printing in Windows 95, 98, NT 3.5x, NT4.0 environments. It
allows AXIS Network Print Servers to be connected in the same
simple fashion as a local printer port and once installed, is
automatically initialized upon system startup. AXIS Print
Monitor has been developed for peer-to-peer printing, allowing
your print jobs to be sent directly to the print server.
AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over NetBIOS/NetBEUI
and TCP/IP (LPR). To enable printing in these environments,
please ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on
your client.
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each
workstation to perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the
AXIS Print Monitor allows you to access all network printers,
just as if they were connected directly to your workstation. Peer-
to-peer printing offers the following benefits:
• You can easily monitor the status of your printers, by enabling
error condition pop-up messages.
• You do not have to rely on a server.
AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to
perform client-server printing. The installed printers must be
configured to be shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up
messages should not be enabled on the server as they will not be
displayed on the client platforms.
AXIS Print Monitor can be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the AXIS Print
Monitor's Readme file for instructions. The readme file is located in the same
folder where AXIS Print Monitor is installed on your PC.
