1.4 Network Printing Architecture
This section illustrates how FPS-1010G functions and operates on the network. Before you install
and use FPS-1010G, it is strongly suggested that you read this section completely, and select
only the chapters you need according to your network operating system by “Contents of the
User’s Manual” in next section.
This section will first introduce the role every component plays in the network-printing
environment.

Detailed examples will then be illustrated through actual network environment.
1.4.1 Print Server Network Functions
Windows NT Server
NetWare Server
Windows 98
Windows NT
Workstation
Windows 2000
Unix
Print Server
Print Server
Because print server supports IPX, TCP/IP and AppleTalk network protocols, any networked
computer can directly print to the print server from any of its installed protocol.

1.4.2 Network Printing Functions for Clients
Windows NT Server
NetWare Server
Windows 98
Windows NT
Workstation
Windows 2000
Unix Print Server
Client User
Common operating systems for clients are classified as following:
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and utilities for Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP 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 through all
the print servers on the network, and then add their printing ports into Windows’ printing port.

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 to print server.
MAC OS
MAC OS can use the system-standard AppleTalk network to print to print server.

1.4.3 Network Printing Functions for Network Server
Windows NT Server
NetWare Server
Windows 98
Windows NT
Workstation
Windows 2000
Unix Print Server
Network Server
Common network servers are classified as following:
Windows NT/2000
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and utilities for Windows
NT/2000. After PTPP is installed, the server can directly print to print server. Adding this printing
function into Windows NT/2000 Server allows print queue, user authority management, and many
other advanced features.
NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x
In NetWare environment, print server offers various printing modes like print queue, remote
printer, etc.
1.5 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 to print server.
Windows NT/2000 Network
