This section describes how to add network printers to a computer in Windows.
Refer to the table below to determine the most appropriate installation method
according to your computer environment:

If you intend to use the print server in a multi-protocol environment, refer to
the chapters pertaining to the respective operating systems 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.
In Peer-to-Peer networks, each computer prints directly to the network printer.
The network printer appears as a Local Printer (in Windows' Add Printer Wizard
and in AXIS Print Monitor), and needs to be added to each client computer that
wants to print. Each client computer must install the appropriate printer drivers
in order to print properly.
In Windows 98 and Me, AXIS Print Monitor must be installed on all (printing) client
computers for Peer-to-Peer printing.
