Adding Printers in Windows
AXIS 5550 User’s Manual 23
Peer-to-Peer Network In Peer-to-Peer networks, each computer prints directly to the network
printer. The network printer appears as a Local Printer (in Windows Add
Printer Wizard and in AXIS Print Monitor), and needs to be added to each
client computer that wants to print. Each client computer must install the
appropriate printer drivers in order to print properly.
SNMP Device Index When using the TCP/IP protocol (and if the printer driver permits), the
print server can use SNMP Status to find out if the printer is ready to
accept a new job. See “SNMP Device Index” on page 149.
Adding Printers in Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 2003 using AXIS AddPrinter Wizard
AXIS AddPrinter is a Wizard that locates your network printers and helps
you install them in your Windows environment. When you have
completed the Wizard, the network printer is ready for use. To install a
network printer you must be logged in as an Administrator or be a
member of the Administrators' group.
1. Install AXIS AddPrinter on all Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista
and Windows Server 2003 workstations that will print via the print server.
2. Before you continue, ensure that the print server is properly connected to
the printer, network and power.
3. Start AXIS AddPrinter. Click Next. The Wizard will perform an automatic
search for all Axis network printers, which is indicated by the progress bar
at the bottom of the screen.
4. Select a printer from the Select Network Printer list and click Next.
If the printer does not appear, see Easy Access to All Network Printers,
below.
In Windows 98 and Me, AXIS Print Monitor must be installed on all (printing) client
computers for Peer-to-Peer printing.
