Printing Methods
The WPS-0104 LevelOne Wireless Printer Server supports a number of printing methods:
•
Peer-to-peer Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and sent
directly to the WPS-0104 LevelOne Wireless Printer Server when it is available.

•
Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network
Server (e.g. Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the WPS-0104 LevelOne Wireless
Printer Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue. For
example, an important job can be moved to the head of the queue.

Windows SMB printing is a Microsoft standard for using a "Network Printer". No
additional software needs to be installed on your Windows PC, and printing from MS-
DOS programs is supported. However, because the WPS-0104 LevelOne Wireless Printer
Server can not store files, large print jobs may cause problems.

AppleTalk is also supported, and normally no configuration of the WPS-0104 LevelOne
Wireless Printer Server is required. See the Macintosh section of this chapter for details of
client configuration.

If using Windows 98SE, NT, Me, 2000, or XP, the easiest method to use is Peer-to-peer
Printing.
Printing.

If using Windows, and you need to print from MS-DOS programs, or you don't wish to
install additional software, use SMB.
However, SMB is not suitable for large, complex documents, so if you need this as well as
MS-DOS printing, you should install BOTH Peer-to-peer Printing and SMB printing. MS-
DOS programs can use the SMB printer, Windows programs should use Peer-to-peer
Printing.
