3.2 Install Printers in Windows 98 and Windows Me
AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network printing in Windows 98 and
Windows Me. Follow the instructions below to use the standard Windows method (TCP/IP over
LPR) with AXIS Print Monitor.
Note:
AXIS Print Monitor must be installed on all printing clients.
1. Install AXIS PrintMonitor on all workstations that will print via the Axis print server.
AXIS PrintMonitor is available free of charge on www.axis.com
2. Next, start the Windows Add Printer Wizard: select Settings | Printers from the Start menu
and double-click the Add Printer icon.
3. After clicking Next in the first dialog, the Wizard asks you to select between Local Printer
and Network Printer. You must select Local Printer as the print server emulates a local
printer port. Click Next.
4. Choose the appropriate print driver for your printer. If the desired print driver already appears
within the displayed Manufacturers and printers lists, highlight your selection, click Next
and proceed directly to step 7. It is only necessary to perform steps 5- 6 if your printer does
not feature in the model list.
5. Click the Have Disk... button. Insert the printer driver diskette/CD into the appropriate disk
drive of your computer.
6. Select the type of printer you want to install from the diskette/CD and click Next.
7. If you already have the printer's driver installed, you will be asked whether to keep it or to
replace it.
8. Select the Printers@TCP/IP Port and click Next.
9. Enter an appropriate name for your printer and choose whether you want it to be the default
printer. Click Next.
10. In the next window, do not order a Test Page to be written, just click Finish.
11. The printer you have defined will now be displayed in the Printers Folder. Right-click the
printer object and select Properties.
12. Click the Details tab within the Properties page and then click Add Port to display the
available monitors.
13. Click the radio button "other". Select AXIS Port and then click OK.
14. Select LPR (TCP/IP) as your choice of protocol and click OK.
