NEC PrintAgent Remote Printing
Remote Printing is the easiest way for Windows 95/98 users to print over the web and get instant printer status at
your desktop. You can print to any SuperScript 4400N printer anywhere, as long as you have its URL.
All you do is browse to the printer’s Home Page and download/install the NEC PrintAgent software to your
system. When you print with that special driver, the job goes over the web to the printer, and printer status comes
back to your desktop on the PrintAgent window. The first part of this chapter covers the following topics about
Remote Printing.

NEC PrintAgent Pull Printing
Pull Printing is an ideal solution for busy offices that print long, complex, or color rich documents. With Pull
Printing, your job is sent to a Pull Printing server to be processed. Then the Pull Printing server delivers the job to
the printer. This frees your computer faster, and reduces network traffic. You can also set up a secondary server to
deliver printer Help files and drivers to users, making the printer more efficient.
Pull Printing is also called “driverless” printing because you don’t need a SuperScript 4400 printer driver on your
system. You can pull print any Microsoft Office 97, .PDF file, or web page without opening it— just by sending its
location to the Pull Printing server. The server does all the work and leaves your computer free for other tasks. The
second part of this chapter covers the following topics about Pull Printing.
