4.4 AppleTalk Host Configuration
AppleTalk configuration is extremely simple for EtherTalk nodes such as Macintosh computers. If you enable AppleTalk on the EPS services (as it is by default on the serial port service EPS_xxxxxx_S1) the service should be visible via the Chooser on all networked Macintosh computers. This assumes that the Macintosh accessing the Chooser has access to the AppleTalk zone that the EPS is a part of. If there is only one zone or the default zone is the correct one, the Macintosh should see the EPS_xxxxxx_S1 service under the LaserWriter® selection of the Chooser. Selecting this LaserWriter will cause any printing to be sent to the EPS. If there are multiple zones running on the network, the EPS can be configured to be part of a specific zone.
