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 247.

the printer, network and power.

search for all Axis network printers, which is indicated by the progress bar
at the bottom of the screen.
