What is Windows 95/98 Peer to Peer

Printing?

The peer to peer printing software that is included with the NIB allows Win-

dows 95/98 PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A net-

work server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer

printing.

The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use

peer to peer printing. Once peer to peer printing software is installed, all NIBs

on the network automatically appear in the list of available printer ports.

The peer to peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers

are present; however, often the server print services are utilized instead. Server

based print services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do

not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.

Note

❒

Be sure to turn the printer off and after changing the network configuration.
