Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer printing allows Windows 95/Windows 98 workstations and
servers to print to Network Card printers without an intervening server and without
using IP. The main features of the Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer printing are as follows:
• Runs on Windows 95/Windows 98 workstations or servers “out of the box”.
• Runs on networks which do not have a NetWare file server, as well as those that do.
• Implements IPX Peer-to-Peer bi-directional printing between Windows workstations
and Network Card printers.
