The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using if
you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then recognize Epson
and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet
printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for network printing are supported. If
Autodetect Printer Type is disabled, the AppleTalk printer type has to be
specified manually in the print server. For Epson InkJets it would be
"EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print server
does not recognize the connected printer the default setting, "LaserWriter" will
be used as printer type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used
with all PostScript printers.
To enable Autodetect Printer Type, log in to your print server's Web interface
and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | Macintosh | Auto
Detect Printer Type | Yes.
See the Help pages in the print server's Web interface for details.
In the absence of an IP address management mechanism such as DHCP, the
print server will receive a temporary IP address automatically over AutoIP, a
method which enables the host to automatically take a linklocal IPv4 address.
AutoIP is supported by Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP and Mac OS version 8.5 or
higher.
