Printers in
Windows NT 3.5x
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.
Note:
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.
Install the AXIS Print Monitor software on your Windows NT3.5x
client, if you have not already done so. AXIS Print Monitor can be
downloaded from the AXIS Product CD or from the Axis web site
http://www.axis.com
To be able to print using LPR, you must have installed the AXIS
5400+ in the TCP/IP environment as described in
Assigning an IP address, on page 22 and the TCP/IP protocol must be
enabled on your client.
1. Open the Print Manager and select Create Printer from the
Printer menu.
2. Enter an appropriate name in the Printer Name field.
