Client PC Configuration

The chapter details the client configuration required on LAN clients to use the printer or printers attached to the Wireless Print Server.

Overview

Before performing client configuration, the Wireless Print Server must be installed on your LAN, and configured as described in Chapter 3. Both the Wireless Print Server and the attached printer must be powered ON.

Printing Methods

The Wireless Print Server supports a number of printing methods:

•Peer-to-peer Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and sent directly to the Wireless Print Server when it is available.

Figure 3: Peer-to-Peer Printing

•Server-based Printing means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network Server (e.g. Windows 2000 Server) and then sent to the Wireless Print Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue. For example, an important job can be moved to the head of the queue.

See Appendix B for details of configuring your Network Server to work with the Print Server.
