This section describes how to add network printers to a computer in Windows. 
Refer to the table below to determine the most appropriate installation method 
according to your computer environment:

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.

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. 

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.
