Macintosh Network Configuration
The TROY print server supports the AppleTalk protocol running over
Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This capability allows Macintosh
computers to print jobs to a printer simultaneously with jobs from
Windows, UNIX, NetWare, and other computers.
TROY print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a
shareable printer node on an AppleTalk Phase 2 network. The TROY
print server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the network, and
automatically appears in the Print Center or Chooser of each Macintosh.
Application programs (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PageMaker, etc.)
can print without modification or special software on the Macintosh.
AppleTalk Configuration (OS 8.x and 9.x)
Identify the printer to which the print server is connected, and install the
printer driver.
1. Verify that Ethernet is enabled from the Network Control Panel or
AppleTalk Control Panel.
2. At a Macintosh workstation, from the Apple menu, open the
Chooser.
3. If the Chooser window displays an AppleTalk zone list, select the
necessary zone.
4. Click on the icon for the printer driver you are going to use. If you
have a Postscript printer, you can use the LaserWriter driver.
5. Select the print server name (the default is TWC_xxxxxx_P1_AT,
where "xxxxxx" are the last six digits of the Ethernet address.).
6. Close the Chooser. You can now print to the printer using any
standard Macintosh application program.
