Rendezvous Uses in MAC OS 10.2

The latest version of MAC OS provides a new feature that is called Rendezvous. Rendezvous is a revolutionary networking technology standard that lets you create an instant network of computers and devices, which can be used throughout Mac OS 10.2 to provide innovative ways to share files and printers and even contact other people on the network.

For the printer connection, the Mac OS 10.2 Print Center application uses Rendezvous to discover Rendezvous-enabled printers on the network. When you add your computer to a network, Print Center automatically discovers the available printers. All you have to do is selecting the one you want to use and then start printing. You can add a new printer to the network and all the users on the network will see the new printer automatically appear in their Print Center, without any configuration.

The following instructions provide a common procedure of installing the printer:
