4.1System Architecture

In Windows network environment, other than the Peer-to-Peer network printing architecture described in the previous chapter, we also offer the Server-Based Printing architecture for Windows NT/2000/2003 server.

Only one Windows NT/2000/2003 is required to have Windows PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver installed and share the printing service on the network. Other network users can simply connect to the server and access the shared printer (see below).

4.2Windows NT/2000/2003 Server Installation and Setup

Please follow the procedures described below for installation and construct a peer-to-peer connection (PTPP) between Windows NT/2000/2003 Server and Print Server.

Step1. If this is your first time installing print server, please install the administrator software on Windows NT/2000/2003 server first. Refer to section 3.2 for installation instructions.

If your network has already installed a working print server and your Windows NT/2000/2003 server has not yet installed the PTPP driver, please install the client software. Refer to section 3.4 and 3.5 for installation instructions.
