Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing Setup
Peer-to-peer printing allows Windows 95/98 computers to
print directly to a networked printer without an intervening
file server. Below are the main features of peer-to-peer
printing.
•
Runs on Windows 95/98 and workstations or servers
“out of the box.”
•
Runs on networks with or without a NetWare file server.
•
Implements peer-to-peer direct printing between
Windows computers and networked printers.
•
You can configure network printers the same way you
configure printers directly attached to a computer.
note:
In isolated serverless networks, the NIC should be
used with its factory default settings.
IP vs. IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing
Your network configuration will dictate whether IP or IPX is
more appropriate. However, we recommend you use IP peer-
to-peer printing if possible.
For IP Peer-to-Peer Printing:
You must install
PeerToPeer-IP. This protocol allows you to access the
network printer over an IP network. The Microsoft
TCP/IP protocol stack must also be installed and
properly configured on your workstation. The network
and the network print servers must support IP.
For IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing:
You must install
Peer-to-Peer-IPX. It is not necessary to have a NetWare file
server on the network to use this IPX protocol.

Moving a Peer-to-Peer Printer
If you move your printer to a new network, you must restore
the NIC to its factory defaults (see page 62). If you have
changed your printer’s name, it will revert to its original
