Any system that supports RFC-1179 lpr/lpd.

The software may be compatible with workstation models and
software versions other than those listed above.

Client software

On your PC or workstation, you must install or set up a
supported means of submitting jobs to the printer. Depending on
your system, you can use the following:

Xerox drivers for Windows 3.x, 95/98, or NT/2000

Xerox Document Submission Software for DOS, Windows
3.x, 95/98, NT/2000, or Macintosh

Third-party drivers

Some PostScript drivers can be used in conjunction with
Xerox-supplied PPD files

HP LaserJet 4 for monochrome jobs

Third-party TCP/IP lpd utility

Apple/Macintosh Printer Access Protocol (PAP)

NOTE: The printing options vary according to the network
software that is loaded on the client workstation.

Submitting print jobs

There are basically two ways you can submit print jobs: You can
send print data directly from the application to the printer; or you
can create a PDL data file on the workstation and then send the
data file to the printer. The method you choose depends on the
workstation configuration and the job submission requirements.

Sending the print data directly from the application to the printer
is accomplished with a Xerox print driver or a third-party driver.
This method is sometimes referred to as “transparent printing.” It
may not support all available print options, such as number of
copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.
