Print Methods on TCP/IP Networks

The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e supports several different print methods

in the TCP/IP environment. axinstall will suggest a print method

suitable for your particular UNIX/Linux system, but you might want

to use another method depending on your printing requirements

(banner pages, status logging, etc).

The diagram below shows the alternative data paths taken by some

of the UNIX/Linux print methods. This illustrates some of the

advantages and limitations of the different methods. Use the

following information to determine which method to adopt.
