Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing-3

For more detailed information on TCP/IP setup and printing, see Chapter 7.

Windows IP 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 inter-
vening server and without using IPX. The main features of the Windows IP Peer-to-
Peer printing are as follows:

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

ers "out of the box".

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

and Print Server Card printers.

The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the TCP/IP stacks that are provided with Win-
dows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0. The redirector software provided will establish a 
connection with the printers supporting Peer-to-Peer, using a direct IP connection over 
the network.

When configuring the network capabilities for the Windows computer, you must 
include the "TCP/IP Protocol". You do not need to activate any TCI/IP Client appli-
cation.

This inclusion of TCP/IP 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 Win-
dows CD.

Note:

Because Peer-to-Peer uses the TCP/IP Protocol, TCP/IP operation must remain 

enabled on the Print Server Card, and the Print Server Card must be assigned a 

valid IP address. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it appears in the Win-

dows Port List, is the same as the IP Address assigned to the Print Server Card. 

The IP Address may be changed by changing the TCP/IP section using the Web-

based management or MAP utilities.

If a NIC is being moved from a site that had active TCP/IP to a site that does not, the 
unit should be reset to factory default to clear the IP Address and other network infor-
mation.
