Chapter 7. Network Print Server Setup

This chapter describes how to share a printer with:

•Apple Mac OS 7-9

•Apple Mac OS X

•Microsoft Windows

•UNIX/Linux

7.1 Connecting Printer

Connect your printer to the router:

1.Connect one end of a standard parallel printer cable (sold separately) to connect the router, and the other end to the router.

2.Turn on the printer and verify that any self-test is performed successfully.

3.Re-start the router by turning its power off and on. Verify that it passes the power on self-test and the status indicators are normal (see the back cover of this manual).

7.2 Printer Drivers for Mac OS 7-9

To share a printer with Apple Mac OS 7-9, you must meet specific system re- quirements and create a desktop printer icon.

System Requirements

•Mac OS 7.6.x, Mac OS 8.1, or Mac OS 9
