Chapter 6: Bi-Admin:
PrintServer Management

PrintServer CD. Fully compatible with Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT, 2000,
and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the PrintServer’s internal settings,
check on the unit’s status, and perform basic diagnostic tests.
Note that the Bi-
Admin program must only be installed on the network administrator’s comput-
er. Also, Bi-Admin requires that the IPX/SPX protocol be installed initially,
which you can always remove later.

Admin to manage the PrintServer.
