1. Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
Thank you for purchasing and using our print server. This print server allows
your printer to become a shared device on the network. It offers printing
flexibility and manageability on your Local Area Network at an extremely low
cost and with an absolute minimum setup and maintenance required.
This print server provides a network port (10/100Mbps Ethernet) and one
printer's USB port.
This print server supports IPX, TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols. It is the best
network printing solutions for various common network operating systems;
such as Windows 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer Printing, Windows NT/2000/XP,
NetWare, Unix/Linux, etc.
With the help of Installation Wizard, you can easily and instantly complete
the settings for your printing environment, and start enjoying the fantastic
features provided by this print server.
In the following chapters, we will introduce in detail the printing features,
installation methods, and system configuration for different network
environments.
If you would like to set up and install print server quickly, please refer to the
Quick Installation Guide that comes along with this print server.

1.3 Network Printing Architecture
This section illustrates how print server functions and operates on the
network. Before you install and use print server, 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.

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 IPX, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI protocols. While printing after installation,
PTPP will automatically select the proper transport protocol to connect to the
print server depending on the protocols installed in each computer (client
computer may only have IPX or TCP/IP installed).

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. (see below)

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
