36 Chapter 3 Setting Up Printing for Clients
Troubleshooting
If a Mac OS X client is having trouble printing, see Chapter 5, “Solving Problems,” on
page 53.
Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 Clients
To use shared queues on a server, Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 users need to add the
queues just as they would add any other printer, using the Chooser for AppleTalk
printers or the Desktop Printer Utility for LPR printers.
The Desktop Printer Utility is usually located in the Apple Extras/LaserWriter Software or
in /Applications/Utilities.
Setting Up an AppleTalk Queue on Mac OS 8 or 9 Clients
On a computer running Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9, you use the Chooser to set up an
AppleTalk queue.
To add an AppleTalk print queue:
1 Open the Chooser.
2 Select the LaserWriter 8 icon or the icon for your printer’s model.
The LaserWriter 8 icon works well in most cases. Use a printer-specific icon, if available,
to take advantage of special features that might be offered by that printer.
3 Select the queue from the list on the right and click Create.
4 When the dialog appears, select the PPD for the printer.
5 Close the Chooser.
Setting Up an LPR Queue on Mac OS 8 or 9 Clients
Use the Desktop Printer Utility to set up LPR printers on a computer running Mac OS 8
or Mac OS 9.
To add an LPR print queue:
1 Open the Desktop Printer Utility, select Printer (LPR), and click OK.
2 In the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) File section, click Change and select the PPD
file for the printer. Choose Generic if you do not know the printer type.
3 In the LPR Printer Selection section, click Change and enter the server’s IP address or
domain name in the Printer Address field.
4 Enter the name of the print queue on the server that is configured for sharing via LPR.
Leave the field blank if you want to print to the default LPR queue.
5 Click Verify to confirm that print service is accepting jobs via LPR.
