Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing-1

Windows Peer-to-Peer printing allows Windows 95/98 workstations and Windows NT 
4.0 workstations and servers to print to Print Server Card printers without an interven-
ing server and without using IP. The main features of the Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer 
printing are as follows:

•  Runs on Windows-95/98 workstations and on Windows NT 4.0 workstations or 

servers "out of the box".

•  Runs on networks which do not have a NetWare file server, as well as those that do.

•  Implements IPX peer-to-peer bi-directional printing between Windows workstations 

and Print Server Card printers.

The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the IPX/SPX stacks that are provided with 
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0. The redirector software provided will establish a 
connection with the printers supporting IPX Peer-to-Peer, without using an intermedi-
ate file server, whether or not your network uses Novell NetWare.

When configuring the network capabilities for the Windows computer, you must 
include the "IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol". If you are not using NetWare, you do 
not need to activate any NetWare Client application.

This inclusion of IPX/SPX can also be done after initial Windows installation by 
going to the Network setup function under Control Panel. To do this, you will need the 
Windows CD.

Note:

Because Peer-to-Peer uses the IPX/SPX Protocol, Novell operation must remain 

enabled on the Print Server Card, even if traditional Novell printing facilities are 

not being used. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it appears in the Windows 

Port List, is the same as the Novell Print Server name, and may be changed by 

changing the Novell Print Server name using the Web-based management or MAP 

utilities.
