The print server supports Windows peer-to-peer network printing mode; it’s suitable for most medium and small network environments. Using this quick and simple installation procedure, you can immediately enjoy the convenience of network printing. Figure 4-1 shows PTPP printing; the PTPP data path is highlighted in gray.

The installation procedure is separated into the following two parts:

1. Administrator installation and setup (refer to Section 4.1 for more detailed information).

System administrators must:

• Install the administrator’s utilities into his/her computer.

• Configure the print server from the administrator’s configuration utility.

2. Client installation and setup (refer to Section 4.2 for more detailed information).

Client users must install the Windows PTPP driver for network printing.

In addition, after PTPP is installed, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the network and add the print servers’ printing port into the

Windows printing port. (Refer to the network printing architecture in Section

2.4

for more detailed information.)
