Adding Printers in Macintosh

Having connected the AXIS OfficeBasic USB to your network, this section now
describes how to set up your print server for printing in Mac OS X and earlier
Macintosh environments using AppleTalk.
If you intend to use the print server in a multi-protocol environment, refer to
the chapters pertaining to the respective operating systems in this manual.
This section describes setting up your print server for printing in the Mac OS X.
1. Start Print Center (from Go | Applications | Utilities | Print Center).
2. Select Printers | Add Printer...
3. From the Printer List dialog, select AppleTalk.
4. Now, the port of your print server will appear in the list of available printers.
The port is shown as <host name>_<port>. Example: AXIS100086_USB1.
Select the print server port you want to use.
5. Select an appropriate printer driver for your printer from the Printer Model
drop-down list. If the printer is not available in the list, select Generic.
(You can also browse for a printer driver on your computer or network by
selecting Other... from the list.)
6. Click Add to complete the installation.
On an older Mac, basic configuration in AppleTalk is performed simply by
opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer.
You can change the default name of your print server or any of default
parameters by editing the print server's config file. To access the config file
from a Macintosh, you can use:
• any Web browser with Javascript enabled
• FTP using MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie
In order to use any of these methods, you must assign an IP address to the print
server as described in "Setting Parameters" on page 32.
