The AppleShare IP Print Server program manages communication with the printers on
your AppleTalk or TCP/IP network by allowing the server to act as a repository for print
jobs. You can also set up secure print queues to control who can print. You manage print
services on your server using the Print Admin program.

services from any computer connected to your network using any standard Web browser.

TCP Filter software allows you to define filters that allow or deny access to an AppleShare
IP server from specified IP addresses or domain names. You can apply filters to individual
protocols (such as IMAP or FTP) or create global filters that can be applied to all TCP/IP
services on your server computer.

MacDNS software provides Domain Name System (DNS) service for your network. You
may need DNS software in order to communicate with the Internet and to allow users to
enter names instead of numeric IP addresses when, for example, sending e-mail.
Help is available in the MacDNS Administrator’s Guide file inside the MacDNS folder in
the AppleShare IP 6.2 folder on your server’s hard disk (after you’ve installed
AppleShare IP).
AppleShare IP also comes with additional software to help you run your servers more
effectively and efficiently. See the folders and files on your AppleShare IP CD. For more
