Setting up AppleTalk Printing in Mac OS 9
NOTE
: Mac OS printing is supported by Postscript printers only!
The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the MacOS
operating system. It can be used for network communications over standard
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet using the EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary
low-speed LocalTalk transport.
Print server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can print
from any MacOS computer connected to your Ethernet network, either directly
using an EtherTalk connection, or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk
router.
NOTE
: The Chooser name of a printer connected to one of the Print Server‘s
ports is the same as its Port Name. If you are using AppleTalk printing, you
will need to make sure that every Port Name is unique among all of the
network printers in your AppleTalk zone. The Port Names shown in this
manual are examples only.
To set up print server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:
±
Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh.
±
Make sure the PC’s IP Address must correspond with the Print Server’s IP
Address in the same segment for the two devices to communicate.
±
Launch the browser and enter print server web interface, select the ADVANCED
tab, click Advanced LAN button and then scroll to the bottom to the AppleTalk
protocol section

±
If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you will have to specify
which zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print Server in the
same zone as most of the users who will be using it. If your network is not divided
into zones, the AppleTalk Zone field should contain a single asterisk (*).
For each Printer Port that will be used for AppleTalk printing, you may need to
change the AppleTalk Port Settings in the
Advanced LAN
screen, shown as below.
