Setting Up Appletalk Printing In Mac Os 9 - D-Link DP-301P+ User Manual

Setting up Apple Talk Printing
in Mac OS 9
Note: Mac OS printing is supported for PostScript printers only!
The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the Macintosh
operating system. It can be used for network communications over standard
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet using the EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary
LocalTalk transport.
Your print server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can
print from any Mac OS 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.
Setting up the print server for AppleTalk Printing
To set up your print server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:
Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh.
Change the IP address on one of the computers on your network to
192.168.0.x, where x is any number between 11-254, excluding 10.
Type 192.168.0.10 into the address field of your web browser. 192.168.0.10 is
the default IP address of the DP-301P+.
Select the Network tab and 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 "*".
