3.3 IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Program
The IPX Peer-to Peer Printing Program enables IPX Peer-to-Peer
printing in a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 environment.
The following are the characteristics of IPX Peer-to-Peer printing.
• IPX Peer-to-Peer printing implements peer-to-peer bi-directional
printing between Windows workstations and NIC printers.
• The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the IPX/SPX stacks that are
provided with Windows 95 or Windows NT4.0.
• The IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing program establishes a connection
with the printers supporting Peer-to-Peer, without using an inter-
mediate file server, whether or not your network uses Novell
NetWare.
• If you are not using NetWare, you do not need to activate any
NetWare Client application.
Note
On power up, the NIC checks the network to see if there is Novell
activity. If there is, it will use the same frame type and the local
network number that it senses. If, in addition, the NIC can log on to a
file server, it will assume that Novell is normally used and will store
this frame type and new number in NVRAM so that, when it comes up
again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some
time). However, if the NIC cannot attach to a file server, it will use the
sensed values, but will not store them.
• The IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing program uses IPX/SPX Compatible Pro-
tocol, so you must install IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol on your work-
station if it is not already installed. See the documentation that comes
with Windows for details about installation.
• Because Peer-to-Peer uses the IPX/SPX Protocol, Novell operation
must remain enabled on the NIC, even if traditional Novell printing
facilities are not being used. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it
appears in the Windows Port List, is the same as the Novell Print
Server name, and may be changed by changing the Novell Print Server
name using the Web-based management or MAP Program.
