1.4.2 Network Printing Functions for Clients
Common operating systems for clients are classified as following:
zWindows 95/98/Me/NT/2000
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) driver and utilities for Windows 95/98/NT/2000
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
(client computer may only have IPX or TCP/IP installed).

User's Manual
In the client installation procedure, after PTPP (Peer-to-
Peer Printing Driver) is installed into Windows, the
system will automatically (manual configuration is also
allowed) search through all the PrintSir print servers on
the network, and then add their printing ports into
Windows’ printing port. (See below)
zUNIX / Linux
UNIX (include HP/UX, SCO Unix, SunOS, Solaris,
Unixware DECUnix, IBM AIX and others) and Linux use
the system-standard LPR to print to PrintSir.
