5. Use the Add Printer Wizard on your work station to install the printer on your
client. Note that only NDS queue based PSERVER printing is supported. When

Queue-based Printing
Methods
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the two
supported queue-based printing methods.
Print Server Mode
The Axis Network Print Server logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the
print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server
emulates a NetWare print server, which is a workstation running PSERVER. It
provides high printing speed with low network load and is the recommended
mode for medium to large sized networks. Each print server in PSERVER mode
takes one NetWare user license.
Pure IP requires that you run NetWare 5 or higher.
