In Microsoft LAN Manager and IBM LAN Server printing, the worksta-
tion sends a print job to a printing process, and the job is put in a print
queue and sent to the NetportExpress print server. The print server then
routes the job to the printer through one of its connected ports.
If you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation on the network,
you can also print using Microsoft network printing. See pages 12-15.
