1 Introduction
Overview
This chapter introduces you to the PrintNet™ architecture and special
features, as well as providing information on installation and configuration
tools.
What is the PrintNet?
The PrintNet print server allows you to attach printers on a local area
network (LAN) rather than attaching them directly to a host system.
Following simple configuration steps, these peripherals can be
simultaneously shared with users on the network whether you are using
TCP/IP, NetBIOS over TCP/IP, or IPX (Novell
).
The PrintNet package contains a network interface card to attach itself
and the printer to the network.
What Special Features are Available?
The PrintNet offers an extensive list of features including:
• built-in HTML forms for easy cross-platform configuration
• availability of printer manager software
• a detailed and easy-to-use command shell built in to the firmware
• multi-level configuration security through passwords, permission
levels, and access lists
• WAN-wide communication access
