If you intend to use the print server in a
Client/Server Network 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 Windows 98 and Me, AXIS Print Monitor must be installed on all (printing) client computers for
