Install printer drivers
Creating ports and installing drivers
Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View
Documentation and look for network printer installation.
If you choose to install without using the instructions on the drivers
CD, you need a basic understanding of network printing on TCP/IP
networks, printer driver installation, and the process involved in
adding new network ports.
Your printer connects automatically to AppleTalk networks and
becomes readily visible to other network clients.
You must create a printer object (icon) on the desktop of each
network client using the LaserWriter 8 printer driver and the
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file.
Specific information about installing the printer on your AppleTalk
network can be found in the online documentation on the drivers CD
that shipped with your printer.
Depending upon which version of the drivers CD shipped with your
printer, you may also find this software on the drivers CD. Launch this
utility and follow the instructions to install the PPDs. Send a test print
job when you have finished.
NetWare
The network printer model works with both Novell Distributed Print
Services (NDPS) and regular queue-based NetWare environments.
Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS)
If you have an NDPS environment, we recommend you install the
NDPS IP Gateway. The gateway tightly integrates your printers with
NDPS so you can easily monitor, control, and print to them.
Additional information about network printer installation can be found
in the online documentation on the drivers CD that shipped with your
printer.
