Before you install and use the HPS3P print server, it is strongly suggested that you read this section completely and select only the chapters that pertain to your specific operating system. Below is a diagram of a typical network with a print server installed. There is a main server, several client computers, print server, along with an optional network server. Print Server Client User Network Server (optional) Network Printing Environment Client User Print Server Network Server Unix Print Server Windows NT Server NetWare Server Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 98 Workstation 1.4.1 Print Server Network Functions Print Server Unix Print Server Windows NT Server NetWare Server Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 98 Workstation Because the HPS3P print server supports IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk and NetBEUI network protocols, any networked computer can print directly through the print server from any of the installed protocols. * TCP/IP * IPX * NetBEUI Unix IPX TCP/IP Windows NT Server NetWare Server TCP/IP TCP/IP IPX NetBEUI Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 98 Workstation 1.4.2 Network Printing Functions for Clients Client User Unix Print Server Windows NT Server NetWare Server Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 98 Workstation Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP The HPS3P provides a PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and utilities for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP users. PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) supports IPX, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI protocols. While printing after installation, PTPP will automatically select the proper transport protocol to connect to the print server depending on the protocols installed in each computer (the client computer may only have IPX or TCP/IP installed). Application PTPP IPX TCP/IP NetBEUI * TCP/IP * IPX * NetBEUI Windows 98 PTPP NetBEUI Application PTPP PTPP TCP/IP Windows 2000 IPX TCP/IP NetBEUI In the client installation procedure, after the PTPP (Peerto-Peer Printing Driver) is installed into Windows, the client or administrator system will automatically (manual configuration is also allowed) search for an available print port through Windows. (see diagram below) PTPP Windows 98 P1 P1 P2 P3 Print Server MIS-2 Print Server MIS-1 UNIX / Linux UNIX (includes HP/UX, SCO Unix, SunOS, Solaris, Unixware DECUnix, IBM AIX and others) and Linux use the system-standard LPR to print to your HPS3P. MAC OS The MAC OS can use the system-standard AppleTalk network to print through your HPS3P. 1.4.3 Network Printing Functions for a Network Server Network Server Unix Print Server Windows NT Server NetWare Server Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 98 Workstation Common network servers use the following operating systems: Windows NT/2000 The HPS3P provides a PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver with utilities for Windows NT and Windows 2000. After PTPP is installed, the server can directly print to the HPS3P print server. Adding this printing function into Windows NT/2000 Server allows for print queuing, user authority management, and many other advanced features. NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x In a NetWare environment, the HPS3P offers various printing modes including print queue, remote printer, etc. 1.5 Network Printing Environment Common network printing environments use the following: Windows Peer-to-Peer Network Since both the HPS3P and client's PTPP drivers fully support IPX, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI protocols, the PTPP driver will automatically search and match up the proper printing protocol for both client and print server when a print request is issued. * TCP/IP * IPX * NetBEUI Unix TCP/IP IPX NetWare Server Windows NT Server PTPP TCP/IP PTPP NetBEUI PTPP IPX PTPP TCP/IP Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 98 Workstation Windows NT/2000 Network The network printing function will become available after the PTPP driver is installed into Windows NT/2000. Adding this printing function for your Windows NT/2000 Server enable print queuing, user authority management, and many other advanced features.
