Wireless USB Print Server User GuideWireless USB Print Server User GuideHome Installation Configuration Tutorials Help Printing Methods IPP Printing MethodsThe Wireless USB Print Server supports a number of printing methods:● Peer-to-peer Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your computer, and sent directly to the Wireless USB Print Server when it is available. ● Windows SMB Printing is a Microsoft standard for using a Network Printer. No additional software needs to be installed on your Windows computer, and printing from MS-DOS programs is supported. However, because the Wireless USB Print Server cannot store files, large print jobs may cause problems. ● Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network Server (e.g. Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the Wireless USB Print Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue. For example, an important job can be moved to the head of the queue. ● AppleTalk is also supported, and normally no configuration of the Wireless USB Print Server is required. Refer to the section for Macintosh installation information. Which printing method should I use?● If using Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, or XP, the easiest method to use is Peer-to-peer Printing. ● If using Windows and you need to print from MS-DOS programs, or you don't wish to install additional software, use SMB. However, SMB is not suitable for large, complex documents, so if you need this as well as MS-DOS printing, you should install BOTH Peer-to-peer Printing and SMB printing. MS-DOS programs can use the SMB printer, while the Windows programs should use Peer-to-peer file:///G|/CSO/T-Writer Repository/Networking/5436A Wireless Gutenberg/User Guide/English/printing.html (1 of 14)9/14/2006 4:38:29 PM
