PURE NETWORKING WIRELESS USB 10/100 PRINT SERVERS

Common operating systems for clients include Windows 95/98/Me/XP, Windows
NT, Windows 2000, UNIX, Linux, AppleTalk, and Mac.

The print server system provides PTPP (peer-to-peer printing) driver and utilities
for Windows 95/98/Me/XP, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 users. PTPP
supports the TCP/IP protocol. In Figure 2-5, the supported protocols, along with
the software applications supported by PTPP, are highlighted.
