Peer to Peer Printing Configuration
What is Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing?
The peer to peer printing software that is included with the NIC allows Windows
95 PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network
server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required to peer to peer printing.
The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use
peer to peer printing. Once peer to peer printing software is installed, all NICs on
the network automatically appear in the list of available printer ports.

The peer to peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers
are present; however, often the server print services are utilized instead. Served
based print services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do
not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.

Optional: Changing the Print Server Name
The peer to peer printing software displays the NetWare Print Server Name to
identify the NIC. The default name is the serial number of the NIC preceded by
OTS_, e.g. OTS_161752. If desired, this name can be changed to a more easily
identifiable name with either the Management Access Program (MAP) or with a
standard browser.

With a Browser
Connecting to the NIC with a browser requires the TCP/IP protocol be loaded on
the browser workstation and requires setting an IP address for the NIC. The NIC
IP address may be set by following the TCP/IP Configuration instructions in the
Windows NT Configuration section in this guide.

After setting the NIC's IP parameters, connect to the NIC with the browser by
typing http://<IP address>, e.g. http://192.42.211.5 At the NIC Home Page, click
on NIC Configuration and follow the MAP configuration instructions (beginning
with step 3) in the NetWare 4.x Directory Services Configuration section in this
