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.

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.

Peer-to-Peer Network 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.
