WINDOWS SETUP

WINDOWS PEER-TO-PEER

Peer-to-peer printing allows Windows 95/98 computers to print directly to a networked printer without an intervening file server. Below are the main features of peer-to-peer printing.

•Runs on Windows 95/98 and workstations or servers “out of the box.”

•Runs on networks with or without a NetWare file server.

•Implements peer-to-peer direct printing between Windows computers and networked printers.

•You can configure network printers the same way you configure printers directly attached to a computer.

note: In isolated, serverless networks, the NIC should be used with its factory default settings.

IP vs. IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing

Your network configuration will dictate whether IP or IPX is more appropriate. However, we recommend you use IP peer- to-peer printing if possible.

For IP Peer-to-Peer Printing: You must install PeerToPeer-IP. This protocol allows you to access the network printer over an IP network. The Microsoft TCP/ IP protocol stack must also be installed and properly configured on your workstation. The network and the network print servers must support IP.

For IPX peer-to-peer Printing: You must install PeerToPeer-IPX. It is not necessary to have a NetWare file server on the network to use this protocol.

note: If you use IPX peer-to-peer and there is no NetWare server in the network, make sure that the Ethernet frame types for both printer and PC match. Do not use “Auto.”The printer’s Ethernet frame type can be changed in the NetWare Configuration menu. See page 19.

Installing Peer-to-Peer Software

Follow these steps to install the correct software.

IP Peer-to-Peer

1.Insert the printer driver CD that came with your printer, for example, SuperScript 4400 Series CD.

2.Press the Windows Start button and select Run. At Run, type: <drive>:\p2pip\Setup.exe

Then click OK. Follow the Install wizard prompts.

3.Choose the Destination Directory to install the P2P-IP and click Next.

4.When the Select Program Folder is displayed, type a new folder name, or select one from the existing Folder list and click Next.

5.When the Setup is Complete information dialog box is displayed, click OK button, then complete the installation.

IPX Peer-to-Peer

1.Insert the printer driver CD that came with your printer, for example, SuperScript 4400 Series CD.

2.Press the Windows Start button and select Run. At Run, type: <drive>:\p2pipx\Setup.exe

Then click OK. Follow the Install wizard prompts.

3.When the Installation Complete dialog box is displayed, click Finish button, then complete the installation.
