Print Server
Because print server supports IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, TCP/IP
and AppleTalk network protocols, any networked computer
can directly print to the print server from any of its
installed protocol.

1.3.2 Network Printing Functions for Clients
Common operating systems for clients are classified as following:
Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and
utilities for Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 users. PTPP
(Peer-to-Peer Printing) supports TCP/IP protocol.

In the client installation procedure, after PTPP (Peer-to-
Peer Printing Driver) is installed into Windows, the system
will automatically (manual configuration is also allowed)
search all the print servers on the network, and then add
their printing ports into Windows’ printing port (see below).

UNIX / Linux
UNIX (include HP/UX, SCO Unix, SunOS, Solaris,
Unixware DECUnix, IBM AIX and others) and Linux use
the system-standard LPR to print through print server.
MAC OS
MAC OS can use the system-standard AppleTalk network
to print through print server.

Windows NT Server
NetWare Server
Windows 98Windows NT
Workstation Windows 2000
Unix Print Server
Network Server
Common network servers are classified as following:
Windows NT/2000/2003
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) driver and utilities for Windows NT/2000/2003.
After PTPP is installed, the server can directly print
through print server. Adding this printing function into
Windows NT/2000/2003 Server allows print queue, user
authority management, and many other advanced features
to be used.

1.4 Network Printing Environment
Common network environment are classified as following:
Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
The client’s PTPP driver will use TCP/IP protocol to print
through print server.

9
Windows NT/2000/2003 Network
Network printing function will become available after
PTPP driver is installed into Windows NT/2000/2003.
Adding this printing function into Windows NT/2000/2003
Server allows print queue, user authority management,
and many other advanced features to be used.
